Can you use PMs? 
i'd have to say no on that one for four reasons...
one, it's a private message. that'd be unfair for the other person because they may want it to actually be private. you could ask them yes, but that leads to number two...
two, how would you be able to prove it was an actual message? i mean, you could forward it to all the judges, but i kind of wanted to stick to the topic instead of having to dig around through messages and through the topic... that's just a pain in the bum.
three, you don't know how long those things can get. we could be getting numerous people pming us a whole page worth when all they needed was the first 4 pms.
four, how would you tell them this?
"i was wondering if i could share this conversation with someone else for a contest..."
once again... it sound like you're only doing it for the contest. and it's hard to say how the people will ask them too. at least with the setup i have, it's somewhat controlled to where the people are being helped without them knowing it's part of a contest.
i was going to include pms at first, but it's sort of tough to say what would happen with it... lets just stick with what we got.
