Sorry. Correctly, "permission from soc.culture.japan.moderated moderators".

The soc.culture.japan.moderated FAQ says:

  3.2 Inappropriate Topics

  Last updated June 1997
  * Topics not involving Japan.
  * Topics involving ethnic Japanese people that have no direct connection
    to Japan or Japanese culture.
      For example, Lance Ito being Japanese American does not make the
      OJ Simpson trial an appropriate topic.)
  * Commercial, wanted, forsale, or personal ads. 
  * All crossposts except to soc.culture.japan.
      This exception is made to prevent the scjm readership from
      becoming isolated from the scj readers who elect to stay in the
      unmoderated forum. Note that such crossposts are subject to the
      same moderation standards as all other posts to scjm, but anyone
      whose posts are rejected can repost them in scj alone and continue
      discussion.
  *  Flamebaits, or posts designed specifically to elicit angry responses.
      We recognize that the distinction between flamebaits and harsh
      posts is a subjective one. The moderators will use their best
      judgment to decide whether a flamebait will generate enough noise
      to warrant being rejected.

      If you think your article is suitable for other fj groups
      as well as this group, we'd like to ask you to cross-post
      your article to both groups.  Of course such cross-posting
      is up to your decision.

I hear they get lots of junk.
