Some questions about beta testing section.

Here are my questions:

1. Its allowed to PM beta testers and request contact via skype/tg/discord so I can provide access to my service (saas) and streamline communication in beta testing process?
2. Its allowed to include link in PM to anonymous offsite form (no emails or other personal data collected) so user can get access to service thats beta tested?
3. Its allowed to select beta testers from people that want to participate in beta tests?

Thanks

No, this is not permitted. This question is answered in the beta testing section rules. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/service-reviews-beta-testers-section-rules-procedures.1270545/

Do not include links in your post to off-site forms to collect user's information, email opt-ins, or any other mechanism used to harvest user information.

Yes, you can do this. Only the freebies section has a "first come, first serve" rule.
