No, not always the one who sends an invitation to PM deserves a negative tag. I'll be more specific. Some time ago, an interview was conducted with forum users. Out of good intentions, the interview organizer sent personal invitations to everyone. And one day he got a negative tag from a DT member.

That is why I said sending unsolicited PMs to a large number of members is bad idea. I am not saying zasad@ deserves a negative tag in this particular case, since he probably did so inadvertently, but there is no doubt that the rules were broken, and he probably apologized for that later on.
I also agree that this vote should be free participation. If someone does not want to write there, do not force him. Moreover, META is the central place of the forum, which most of the participants know about. And all the events there are unlikely to go unnoticed.
Agreed. Anyone interested in participating in this initiative is probably already aware of it. Moreover, there are other ways to "spread the word" that are much less intrusive.
