I'm pretty confident that no one here would maliciously place false orders... not sure why anyone who may have mistyped their email address is being accused as such. That's a pretty disingenuous accusation.
I believe I said mistakes were not the issue here. Checking now... Yep. I said exactly that.
In fact I made no accusations at all, disingenuous or otherwise. I asked the members of the group buy what we should do
if such a thing occurred.
At the moment we know of one order that looks suspicious, and has both an invalid e-mail address and an invalid forum member name. In that case the action I took was to (a) try and find a valid address and then (b) request the person who placed it to send me a PM if it was a serious order that happened to have invalid contact information. Oh, it had an invalid ship-to as well.
I am not going to bother with accusations, disingenuous or otherwise. If we can't contact the person who placed the order using the address they provided, we will try another way. But if we can't invoice them, they can't pay, and that volume is lost form the group buy and we have to do something about that fact.
My intent was to give the members of the group buy information as it became available.
Please advise if you would prefer less information.
