Too many great Scratchers go unnoticed...

...Like Boppitboy99. Much too many. I think there should be something on the front page like 'Featured Scratchers of the Week" and it would show a list of 5, 10, 15 or 20 Scratchers. It would be changed every week so no one would feel left out. And then... You could nominate users to get featured, but you cannot nominate yourself.



How to Get Featured:

There are a few ways.

Way #1:Be kind to other users, by giving constructive comments & giving compliments about their work.

Way #2:Have good projects. Download, figure out how the project works, make your own, and give credit. Or make one from scratch(you know what I mean, not copying off of other people).

Way #3: Help other users. If they are having trouble with something (or someone, if they are getting bullied) and help them.

I had an idea like that, except it would change every hour or so.

Re: Too many great Scratchers go unnoticed...

Yeah, maybe that would do. No Scratchers would get left out then!  smile

Nice idea! But it might crash the server having to update for quite a while.

Re: Too many great Scratchers go unnoticed...

There would be problems, as I would find it REALLY hard finding un-noticed good scratchers so often.

There's a good point, but why can't we have "random user of the day" or something? That's what I loved about Surprise Projects. Gives people a chance.

Re: Too many great Scratchers go unnoticed...

How about 10 random scratchers get chosen every 3 days? Because with your way, there might be some people who've never gone on the forums (they're real  smile  ) who also doesn't comment much, but has good projects and they would be left out.

Where would we put it though? The front page is already really quite crowded. :\

Re: Too many great Scratchers go unnoticed...

Replace the scratch design studios one with it. I just skip that panel altogether, and I'm sure many others do the same.

Right at the bottom, below community stats is a good place. It's blank.

I remmember Featured Scratcher was recomended before. And I still love the idea. It will give new scratchers a good way to be seen.  smile

Or maybe you could put it all the way up at the top and move everything else down.

That section shows projects submitted into the Scratch Design Studio's gallery. It most likely won't be removed.

You know, we wouldn't need much space for the Featured Users... it isn't like we need to show a project picture or something like that.

Translation in English: If more people looked at other people's projects, we'd have Scratch world peace. Great idea, shamrocker.  big_smile

That'd be nice to have a user of the month.  big_smile  I support this idea.  smile  *trys to stickie it but realises she's not a mod*  tongue

Re: Too many great Scratchers go unnoticed...

This sounds a lot like a suggestion to me...moving the topic  smile

So I'm a bit confused.. . who would be responsible for selecting the featured Scratcher of the day...and how are they supposed to find these people?  Is this a community selected thing?

Re: Too many great Scratchers go unnoticed...

No, that would be bad as I stated before, because some people are off the community's radar, while they have good projects. It could be a random generated person selector that changes every day to a random user.
