I Wanna Be A Cruator!

Hey, why don't you talk about some of the types of games you would like to curate. Or maybe even give examples of actual games.   
This will give you a better chance of being chosen. 

Hello Scratcher's and Admin's,

I'd like to become curator. I would give the people who have great projects but get very little views on them a chance to become famous! I'd curate projects with great graphics, sound, and movement! One of those games is a platformer called "Chamber" which was a collab between Almic12 and Bestvitalic2, the link is here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/almic12/1941839. This has realistic movements, great graphics, and cool levels and obstacles!!! Me and Almic12 are friends(over the internet) and his dream is for that project to be curated, i'd really love to have his dream come true!!! There are other projects that i know of (diffrent kinds like animations, games, artwork, and some more) that i think deserve to be front paged. I've been on scratch for 1 and a half years now, but before 2 weeks ago i was never really involved in the community, until i got a message from GoldRock saying that he liked my projects and wanted me to become a judge for the 2012 Scratch Olyimpics. It was then that i started going on the forums and i've been becoming more and more active ever since then. I'd truly love to become a curator and i hope that i do!!
Cya later and SCRATCH ON!!!!!!

Hello. I would love to be curator of scratch. I have always wanted to submit an application, but I didn't feel experienced enough. I have been on scratch for more than a year now, and would really like to give other scratchers the thrill of being on the front page for (one of?) the first times. I was curated once, by Saca312, and it feels great knowing that people were viewing my project and liked it. I would curate games from people who deserve more recognition. I would switch them out over time depending on how i would rate them in comparison to the other projects i was currently curating. I hope you will consider my application, and scratch on!

Edit: I have been on scratch a long time, but rarely use the forums, which is why most post count is so low.

is there any way to stop peolple posting rubbish projects
its pointless and annoying

YO~! I would love to be a curator, it sounds like a very interesting job!
I really love well-scripted, advanced projects, but I also very much enjoy stories and long animations, such as AMVs and I would love to get projects out there that aren;t very well noticed, as in Real2000Ghoul's project, Luigi's Birthday Party! I haven't had an account on Scratch for very long, but I have been messing around with it for 2-3 years!! For one thing though, I don't know if I am experienced enough to get the job as a curator.
It would probably be very fun for me to be a curator, as I love getting messages.
Hope you accept me~!

How does a curator select one of your projects?

A curator selects projects by having them as their most recently favorited projects. If they already favorited the project they want to curate, then they can unfavorite it and re-favorite it.

I, SJRCS_011, would like to be a curator.
So, you're probably going to ask me what I would curate.  The answer is simply complicated (you'll see why    ).

Having been an active member in the AT recently, I have come to appreciate the projects these kind of people make.  It isn't always the Scratch scripting that's amazing, but the related code as well (Magnie's Chat.py, for example).  Very advanced Scratch projects also catch my eye, because it shows just how much effort goes into them.

But it's not only complicated projects I like.  The simple ones are very good.  If I become curator, one thing I promise I will do is to go to the New Scratchers forum and curate at least  5 projects only from New Scratchers.  Why, you ask?  Well, having one of their first projects on the front page can certainly make a New Scratcher very happy.  It may make them stick around for a while.  Who knows, that Scratcher could be our next moderator or the developer of an amazing mod.

is there still a curator?

as a curator I would take a look at all kinds of projects, simulations, music, video's, games, whatever. because I think that graphics are as important as good scripts I'd look at graphics a lot. so please, please, please, make me a curator!

I think that they should explain that on the first post

They tell you in the Curator Komputor. Since it really shouldn't matter to you much unless you are a curator

My name is Yajaleel and I have been on Scratch for 2 months.

Talking about the type of projects you would curate, what makes you a good canitate, etc. could increase your chances of becoming a curator. In case you're wondering, I was a curator once.

How was it (Being a curator?)?  I'm thinking if I should apply or not.

Hello, my name is NeilWest (not actually) and I'd love to become a Scratch curator.

I've been on Scratch for 2 years and 4 months, and I know how much experience means to a curator. I'd love to showcase new projects which have (unfortunately) not received many views or notice, but have an obvious amount of effort put into it. Like epninja's Scratch Marathon.

Also, I'd like to showcase projects which have utilized the remixing feature for a good reason, and built upon something in an original way. I'd be a great way to show what remixing was meant for, not for copying people's games, projects or animations and art. An example of this is DarthPickley's Random Melody Improviser which added more customization controls to BATzerk's Random Melody Generator.

Last but not least, I'd showcase games which are lengthily, and take a long time to complete. These games are the best, because they focus on the story as well as the gameplay - to ensure that the player will enjoy the game for as long as possible. benjamin2's The Level Game is 100% gameplay and does require some know-how.

I'd appreciate it if I was nominated, and of course, I'm sure loads more new users would be seen as a regular on the front page if I was chosen.

I would love to be one.    I know lots of amazing games that don't have many views.
