Lol, never heard of them. they'd be cool though. because anybody can make a savii, but some people could commission paintings this way.. (If by paint auctions you mean selling paintings)

If they WERE ever applied before, they ended probably sometime mid-2010, not just recently.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

I of course hadn't heard of this before but if there was it sounds cool. Never thought of bidding on paintings.

Don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Hm, been here for 2 years as of yesterday and I never heard a lick about about Paint auctions...

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

Paint auctions were where if you weren't logged in and painted something you would be given a code. If people who were logged in went to that old feature, and they typed in the code right, they would get to keep the painting. I only just realized it was removed.

Its not really a normal auction though. More like a blind auction.

Oh, no wonder most people probally didn't even know it was there. But ain't that more of transefering paintings and obtaining them then auctioning?

No, my guess is they were removed awhile ago.

You're referring to the DSiPaint Claim feature, which had nothing to do with auctioning. Its purpose was for unregistered or unlogged users to be able to keep their work when they registered or loggged in. The way it worked was that if a painting was saved by an anonymous person, they would get a code; the image would be saved to a paint album for whoever knew the code and entered it into the Claim area.

The feature was removed last year because it was being flooded with inappropriate paintings.

Catch my drift.

I wonder when the self lock on your own threads will be working again.
Anyways if it was actual auctions where you can put up paintings and bid on paintings that would've been a nice idea.

Change the "savii" currency into something like a site-wide currency so it can be used everywhere and this "buying" pairings would work great, also to mention all the additional tweaks which can be adde due to this.

It a just a random thought that popped into my head, doubt it'll be added.

Well it is used to show-case work, not to sell of : P hence why it'll take a while to ever get implemented.

Locking, as requested
