How it would work


People will still use facebook to organize trades: the only difference is that to verify the accounts and have middlemen, they need to follow this procedure:


- People have to create their account on School Idol Tomodachi and add their cards (at least URs + SRs)
- When they click on "Give away your account" or "Trade your account", they get a form:
 - They have to upload a screenshot of their transfer code or write down their transfer code
 - They can select whether they want to organize the giveaway on School Idol Tomodachi or somewhere else
  - on School Idol Tomodachi, they will simply get a free text box where they can explain their conditions and a comment section to discuss with people
   - on an external site (ie the SIFtrades sub-reddit or the facebook group or else), they have to provide a link to the description of the giveaway / trade
- A member of the staff (and I'll give access to that to the current middlemen of the current trading communities) will have access to the list of all the pending giveaways and trades. They have to enter the transfer code in their device, check the cards (and add/delete if necessary), and upload a screenshot of the new transfer code. The trade or giveaway will now be considered open and verified and people will be able to see it.
- If they get rejected (invalid transfer code, fake data, etc), the trade / giveaway is closed
- If it's a giveaway:
 - the account owner will have an option to transfer the account to someone else (the winner). The winner will receive the transfer code screenshot and the account will appear on their profile on School Idol Tomodachi
- If it's a trade:
 - People will be able to make "trade offers" with their accounts
 - The trade organizer will be able to see the list of offers and pick the one they want
 - When they pick an offer, they can't pick another one, and the selected trade offer owner will receive an email that asks them to send their transfer code
 - They have 48 hours to send their transfer code, after that the offer is considered rejected
 - A staff will verify the account and accept or reject the offer.
 - If the offer is accepted, they will both receive the transfer code of the other account \o/
 - If the offer is rejected (invalid transfer code, fake data, not sent the transfer code after 48 hours, etc), they both get notified and the trade organizer will be able to pick another trade offer


---


Basically, a trade can be in 4 states:


- pending verification (not started)
- open (accept offers)
- pending offer confirmation
- finished


After they get verified, the transfer code is stored on School Idol Tomodachi and nobody can see it, it's only when the trade / giveaway is finished that the new owner get the code. Of course, people can change their mind and they will get the transfer code.


I think that's it for now. I'm not sure I got everything covered. Tell me what you think!
