Am I allowed to PM people for essay help?

I just need to run an idea by…I don’t need help with anything that’s actually in the essay. Is that allowed first of all (lol, sorry, I’m new to this)

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
You are allowed to PM people to run ideas by, but you are not allowed to randomly PM people, nor can you ask people to do the work for you; the recipients must be open to receiving PMs, otherwise, it’s considered spam. Per the forum rules:

Your best option is to start a thread in the essay section stating that you want to run ideas by people, and asking is anyone is willing to be PM’d.

Since there is nothing left to say, closing thread.
