Free order default status

[trippy1976]

I use group discounts to set up 100% off discounts for my distributors and want to have the order status for these go into some kind of "distributor" status. This is the only condition on my site where no payment at all is required.

I can't seem to find a "default" status for orders. I think if I could, I could set that to whatever I want and then the status settings in my installed payment modules would handle setting status for any order that requires actual payment.

Okay, i found the place to add a status item and set it to default, but still... my orders that are free go right to "paid" and skip the default setting for some reason.
