Scratch

I know I sound REALLY impatient here, but, hey, I'm an impatient person, but what time does the curators shift start, approximately? ^^;

Well basically I just choose interesting projects that deserve to be front-paged

ok, if you REALLY can't get a good topic, but you need examples, too. go find 2 or 3 projects you would curate, and link to them here! good luck with becoming curator! 

I would love to beome a curator the the traits for a project picked by me are

a.hilarious (did I spell that right i'm sorry if I diddnt i'm not the best speller around)

b.realy realy fun

c.things with verry complicated scripts (but still fun of coarse i'm not boring)

d.mind boggaling awesomesauce (again i'm sorry if i spelled it wrong)

please please please pick me no pressure although it'll be a bucket of fun!

                        

i really wont to be a curator... so i can give really goodd animations and games with no views to get on front page and gets lots and lots of views... SCRATCH ON!!!!!!!!!!!

every 2 weeks a new one is chosen, i believe, that means my shift ends November 21st. 

Here is another try (to get the message out    ) on proposing to be a curator:

I would like to become a curator because:

1. I would pick projects of all types, music, platformer, animations, art, simulations, and all other general games.

2. I know A LOT of Unknown project creators (just look at my friends list) and I see several new projects each day.

3. I would search through the 'Show and Tell' Article on the Scratch Forums. I would also make a project called 'propose your best projects here' so scratchers can link their and other people's projects for me to explore.

4. With these 2 resources for projects, I will plan to add a new project every twelve hours, giving the picked project about 36 hours on the front page and give it a healthy boost of 300 views.

5. I have been on the scratch website about a year now and I have a good taste of projects ( not just os's    ), and will also take into account how many good and deserving projects they have made which shows that they are a good scratcher.

6. I will only pick projects that have less than 100 views, and that have less than 20 love-its. I will however pick projects that are in a series and the predecessor has been curated before. I have seen A LOT of good projects and I knew how I felt when I first published my first OS. (Thanks LS97  )

7. I will favour and more likely curate projects that run well online (or at least run well online), and make sure that there is no offensive material in them (that's for you, kids), and that they will be exciting to all audiences (not 'Barbie Dress-Up).

8. I will be fair and give each project the same chance (unless it falls into the previous paragraph), regardless who made it. I will not however curate projects where the creator will likely to be mean to his commenters or just not say anything to them.

Those are some of the reasons why I think I should be a curator.

can i?plz!!

To get the best chance at becoming the curator then make your posts longer and more interesting, and give more reasons    We all want to be a curator, but only if we try hard and post speeches.

Ill Tr that

@panulaa1-Let me fix your grammar, spelling, usage... for you.

Reasons why I would be a good curator:
1. I love Scratch and am a frequent scratcher finding many fascinating projects
2. Since I am a new scratcher, I can represent the diverse community of scratchers because curators are usually Scratchers. I think I would represent some of the Scratch population.
3.I have made many show and tell posts showing the world new scratchers that have great projects. This proves i can find good unseen projects.

What I will Curate
•I am a big fan of games and 1s1s's platformers, level games, and scrollers.
•I am sorry for you animators; I usually curate projects that show a great understanding of Scratch and projects that can be played to represent this.

What I will Not Curate
•Projects that break the rules of the topic purpose to get projects featured/curated
-This means no violence, no crude humor, and games must be PG rated projects with less than:
125 views
and/or
15 love its

Thank you, thats why I think I deserve to be a curator.

I think you should include some examples of what you might curate. Also, you did choose a wide variety of projects (good job for that) but people can show a great understanding of Scratch with animations too. It's not just games... Animator vs. Animation is a great way to show understanding of flash, and it's an animation, not game... The rest is good, but the reason why the Scratch Team does not always choose new scratchers and scratchers is because sometimes new scratchers do not understand, (eg. they might choose a project already front paged, a sort of good project (when there are tons of better ones) a person that's famous...) but I think you understand. Good luck!

if i was to create the hompage os scratch it would be all highlights and things and make it feal to people that this is a wicked and that they would make them join this because this is a cool website and fun to do things with
