Request: prevent vendor group buy "preorder" conditions

In light of the recent ban of 86_Industries (or whatever his name was), is there any way a restriction can be inserted for group buys?

Namely, there should not be a "group buy will commence once group buy minimum quantity is met". Specifically, no payment should be tied to a commitment/intent to buy.

If a vendor has to take money to secure a group buy, that vendor shouldn't be doing business in the first place as there is no guarantee that the buyers won't be conned out of their money. I'm sure there's a better way of wording this but the site should have something like this in place to protect members.
