Voluntold is the past tense of voluntell. To "voluntell" someone to volunteer them to do something without having that subject's prior approval. The situation most frequently occurs in situations with large numbers of volunteers who don't have specific duties within the area they have volunteered. The situation also occurs in small group situations in which someone is required to volunteer for a task but nobody raises their hand. They thus become "voluntold" to do the task by the group leader.

I didn't feel like volunteering to join the cooking staff, so the director voluntold me I had to do it.
