I have been asking and asking and I realized it doesn't work that way. I have found a new program called Sandbox. It's really fun; so I plan on leaving Scratch to spend more time on it. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a curator, so if I could be one before I go, I can leave Scratch saying that I had a great experience! I will leave on Dec. 25. It would be a honor to be known as the Curator who had the best time on Scratch.
PS
I felt that is all you needed to know. I find it weird how people spend hours trying to write a perfect reseme for something you do for only two weeks.

I, Yoshi789, would like to be curator. I would choose projects that are innovative. I would not curate projects made by Astro, superguide, carmellstar, jonzo, acmulan, etc. I would curate projects made by lesser-known people so everyone can have a chance of fame Here are some examples:
PURPLE!! By dancingdollarbill
Smiley Cat by bcrc

I would like to be elected as a curator on Scratch to help out other Scratchers that are struggling to earn some views. I became interested when my life on Scratch was changed. The curator, silvershine, selected my project. I was not well known, about 3 comments tops. He selected me and my lowest viewed project was 20 views, my highest (as of now) is over 1,300 views. My life on Scratch was changes and I felt that there are more players worthy of that, and that I'd like to prove it to the Scratchers.
I would chose projects that are distinct to Scratch. Something no one has ever seen before. I would chose good projects by the less-popular people. I would be true to my job.

Dear Scratch Team,
I am Gamefan888. I would sincerely love to become a curator. I say this because I have been frustrated from time to time that my projects and other people's projects that are fabulous do not get noticed. Therefore, I would love to help those people get noticed by curating them. This is because I believe people with good ideas should be recognized. I have been on scratch for about two and a half years and have LOVELOVELOVED it!!! I will be true to my word and pick the fabulous projects that go unrecognized, and give those frustrated scratchers a huge, ear-to-ear grin.
Scratch On,
Gamefan888

I would very much like to be a curator. I really like new, unseen innovations, and games with highly complex physics systems. I also will only take projects into consideration by lesser known scratchers, so it's a fame equivalent for everyone. Thank you, if or if not chosen.

what does it mean, "to be a curator" on this forum? Sort of like a moderator?
Actualy it means you can choose projects to be posted on the front page. Most regular shifts are 3 days to a week.
Actually they are more to two weeks.

I'd do 100% perfect with it. I'd make sure anyone's happy with what I choose to be my top 3 curator pics at the homepage of it. So if scratch let me, I'd try to make you all happy some way because I feel that others have to be happy too! Does anyone agree on me?
I could pick many cool ones. If I get to be a curator, It dose not mean that I'll stop making Scratch projects. :happy: I just wan't it bad. I just know how you all feel because if you feel it seems it's cool, I think it seems cool too! I've heard of it and you have too!
scratch.mit.edu, please make me a curator! :shy:

I would absolutely love to be a curator. I have been on scratch for a long time now, and I would love to be a curator because I want people who have great projects that they worked really hard on, but at the same time, never get front paged, to have a chance in the spotlight. I have felt the same way, and I would love to make people like me, who feel like that happy. I am interested in all kinds of projects, animations, games, puzzles, art, you name it, I like it. I am active almost every day, and have a good list of projects. I am fairly nice and at least I think I am fair. (I do hope so! ;D) I would like the job, and I am up for whatever it takes. Please comment on one of my projects if I am accepted!
thanks for giving me this kind of opportunity!

I have saw this one and it is my sister's. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/PrettyPrincess900/2205477
So I hope I can be a curator. I'm hopeful about it.
Don't forget the blocks for the scripts have to work together to make a project. This means a lot to me just to be one of those curators. A perfect online job so fingers crossed. As for what I stand for, it's a perfect thing for me. BBPUGA has made this one: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/BBPUGA/2194021, a very good one for me. It seems it's a scratch cat intro, I love the chinese music. It's just so sensational. mynameis4489 made this conveyer belt one. //scratch.mit.edu/projects/mynameis4489/2224735. A very good one. Especially when it's an add yourself thing. But why not add yourself in the conveyer belt of doom?

I have been on scratch for a little over a year now and I have tried several times to be curator, but with no luck. But if I become curator I will promise to show projects that are truly amazing. We have all seen the famous scratchers projects and you know what some of them aren't even that good, they just get noticed cause the famous scratcher made them. When I am curator I will spend time to really search out and find really good projects that are by unknown scratchers. I will not start a trend of projects either, like some curators who just show animations or just os' instead I will showcase a wide variety of projects rather than just one type. I will also give each project enough time on the front page; there are curators who show too many and too little projects within their time being curator. I will give the chance for the projects to get noticed. I hope I have persuaded you to choose me a scratch curator.
thanks very much!

Interested in applying to be a Scratch curator?
We choose curators that represent the diversity of the Scratch Community - girls, boys, gamers, storytellers, animators - Scratchers of all kinds! We especially like to choose Scratchers who have been helpful and contributing members of the Scratch community.
When applying to be curator, it's good to give some thought to the kind of projects you'd like to show. "Cool projects that most people have never seen!" is a nice idea, but it doesn't really give us a good sense of what you like and why. We want to know what makes a project interesting to you.
Try viewing the projects in your favorites, and see if you can find a theme that describes them. Talk about that theme in your post on this thread, and consider providing a few links to good examples of that theme.
For example, I really like projects that use sound input from the microphone to draw interesting designs on the screen. Here's an example of one that I recently added to my favorites: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MitFan/874786
Scratch On!
p.s. Want to read more about the curator role, including tips on how to make a good application? Check out kayybee's post: "Can I become the curator? and other curator questions."

I would like to become scratch curator. I enjoy seeing many projects, & finding ones I really like. I would put those projects on my favorites list, & I always hope people see what projects I enjoy! That would be even easier if I was curator!
PS, I would always make sure that the projects are appropriate for all ages.

@coolred: Please stop begging to be curator. It's spammy & annoying.

This is just a page of people saying that they want to be curators. you must state reasons to make yourself look like curator-material to the scratch team.
