I don't think it would be right to PM a person/member who isn't expecting a PM from you. It would be called spamming as he would just be notified about an offer which he has no interest in (may be). If I only talk about this forum, then yes it would be considered spamming. But if you open a thread about a recruitment offer and members reply saying "PM me the details", then they want to be notified about the job. It's not like I am a member of a job website where I get notified about all jobs that match my interest.

i do not agree....
if a receive a PM asking me to participate to a campaign because i write appreciable posts...
for me it is ok...
i'm in the condition to answer yes or no...
that's all

What I want to know is: may a campaign manager 'recruit' participants? If allowed, I'm sure many would.

What would count as 'recruiting' a member?

Would it only be considered spam if someone reported the PM?

I've seen this thread recently with campaign managers.

I'm undecided if it should be or is allowed or not. Input appreciated!

i think it is ok.
if you PM someone to recruit him,
you do it,
because him post good materials...
no spam,
no fud,
no throll....
and so you can ask him to partecipate!!!

I don't think it is wrong recruit person through personal message, they should only not "oblige" them to join and if they don't want, he should nor "harrass" them (in that case he will be surely banned from the forum).

I, personally, wouldn't mind as long as the message is personalized and prepared for me, not for a hundred people. Just make it useful, show that it was dedicated to certain member, show that you've put in some work in examining and personalizing said message for the member in question and in my books you'd be OK. This is where global mods like SaltySpitoon, grue and the admins, BadBear and theymos, could express their opinion.

People interested can find the threads already, I don't think it would be necessary or even effective to recruit people for a sig campaign.

I don't think it's wise that you personally did it to be honest. If one person reports you you'll be screwed. There wouldn't be anything wrong with it really but that all depends on the user and if they report it that person will likely face the consequences.

It really depends on if it is wanted or not. If the person receiving such PM finds it intrusive and unwanted then it is PM spam. If they don't then the moderators would never find out about the PM in question and would have no reason to take any action.

IF you are going to be sending unsolicited PMs them you better be sure that the person receiving the PM wants to get it. Since this is hard to tell in advance it is probably not a good idea to be send these kinds of PMs, especially since some people may find it similar to buying trust.

Something as generic as campaign sigs is unlikely to be allowed as its targeting... well... everyone. If there was a niche of people they would be targeting then sure, else its unsolicited. Btw your sig is struggling at wide page widths, the bottom line separate and stays left aligned.
