I understand what you are saying. However, I need to send surveys for doing the research. How should I get the permission? I have toolserver account stating the purpose of the project. Can I write a bot/batchprocess through toolserver? Right now, I am only testing with 5 users I created.
Thanks, Prabha
Having a toolserver account doesn't mean an endorsement of your email sending. I would ask for permission from the community at the Village Pump. Although be prepared for opposition. A less disruptive method would be to leave a message in the talk page of those random users inviting them to opt-in into your survey.
(It would be even easier to get volunteers to fill it by leaving just a mesage on the Village Pump, or in the mailing list, but then you are more unlikely to be working with recent users)
