A user can set his steam id to a token we provide then hit a button. We validate their identity through the BGG api.

Once verified we mark them as such and could pull in trade rank or other stuff.

TBD: Do we do this work in the back or front end. If we do it in the web server we have to rate limit. If we do it in the worker there will be an unknown amount of time until they get verified since our free worker dyno has to sleep a fair amount.
