Having brokers accepted - add a 'safe time'

Recently talked to a mate who just started playing again and I had an idea. Add a 12 hour safe time if you broker someone else - specifically for Naq. I'm not saying allow it to go back into the bank or give them a free PPT or anything, but maybe an accept resources button like you get if the other person declines the trade. It seems painful and pointless for someone with a small bank to save up a few k at, broker someone who's forum status says they're online, only to have them actually be off line then accept whilst the initiator is asleep or some such. And just to head off the obvious, not everyone reads their posts before accepting brokers. I know I've had it happen a few times in the past when I logged on to find a couple of tril sitting out in the open. This method will also prevent massive over-banking like we used to have.

PROs
Less 'matching' threads - if you see someone buying AT or UU you broker them, no fear.
Smaller players lose less Naq due to poor timing.

CONs
If someone was really dedicated they could save more this way than they could fit in their bank - no more than they already can by having someone decline a broker though.

Idea's? Yay or nay?

wow, first suggestion I've ever made that's been even mildly popular :) better yet, the code is all there (for declines) it just needs to be implemented.
