It was just an idea I suggested it as a way of keeping the thread updated in a clear and easy to follow fashion so everyone has visibilty of where the status of the group buy is at.
I agree re potentially payments not having gone through but in that case if we have a list of people saying they have paid, then spoony can easily refrence it and check. If for some reason a payment is not received he can then contact that person individually and amend their status on the list.
I also stated that I only added people who I saw explicitly saying they paid in this thread and if I had missed anyone out to update their status accordingly as I was sure some people simply PM'd Spoony and did not message in the thread or maybe I missed some people.
However, if people do not think it is a good idea then that is fine too!
