Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would like to be the curate because I have seen a lot of great project of racing, iPod, games, mario, minecraft, and bunch more.  I have gotten one of my projects remixed about 23 times I think.  Curate would be another step to my projects being popular (maybe).  Plus it would seem fun because the last curate (virtualclown) told me about being a curate and it seems exeting

Hey there peoples! This is my [I have no clue-th] attempt at getting the curator spot, so here goes (you might need like an hour spare)... (etc., etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc....)

Reposting again. xD ;__; Please don't critisize the length... after all the effort I put in, I'm not keen on cutting it down to 3 paragraphs or so :S

Reposting. I'm going to give up =_=

I actually read the whole thing o_O. I thought It was a very good application, and just the fact that you took that much time to write it means you are dedicated enough to be a curator. Good job! You have my vote!

Also, the thing about 08jackt quitting in there, he did quit so you might wanna remove that.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Hello, this is my second time to apply for the curating job.  I hope I might be able to get it now that I am not a new Scratcher anymore  smile   It is my dream to get curated in any case so I will not be disappointed if I am not chosen.  ^_^  I would like to choose projects that had a lot of effort put into their making.  Whether games, animations, or interactive stories (etc.), I would like to give the chance of fame to those who deserve it.  Here is the list of requirements:

<set{ Views  }to( less than fifty
<set{ love-its  }to( less than fifteen
<set{ Has the user been front paged before?  }to( No
<set{ other requirements  }to( Originality, namely project must not be a remix; creativity, namely the idea must be a good one without any copied ideas; and of course age appropriateness and skill, namely the programming should be nice.  Art is also accepted if it is drawn well enough and is age appropriate; no ketchup allowed!

I hope I can get picked! 

Scratch on,
Legolas

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

This is my second request for becoming curator. I think I should become curator because I constantly see the new projects section. I also can tell if they spent more than an hour to make the game or animation good. I would curate games and animations. For the games I would curate ones that have good art, good gameplay, good concept, and are not just 30 seconds. For animations I would curate the ones with good art, ones that are longer than a minute, and spent time making actual animations. A project that I would curate is this one http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/darty11/2260853. It has good art, really good gameplay, a concept based on a video game and is an arcade game so you can play it again and again. I also will curate something with less than 30 views, 15 love-its, and the user that created the project wouldn't have any projects that have been front paged.

I hope I get picked

Regards,
     Max Flyboy

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Are you allowed to have a second go at being a curator?
If so...
I would like to be a curator.
I would only pick projects that have less than 50 veiws and less than 10 love-its and they must be more than 4 weeks old-they must be good too.
I would rarely pick a project that breaks theese rules (even if they have 1000+ veiws but they must be totaly AMAZING like one of the best projects on scratch.

I hope i be curator next time  hmm

Yes, but try to space out your posts with several months in between.

The scratch team reads every application, it just takes time.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would love to be curator  big_smile
I would try and curate projects by users who are newer, haven't gotten many views or that everyone will like. I will try to make projects  friendly to both younger and older scratchers and strive to make sure everyone sees some projects they like  big_smile
If I am not chosen as curator, I am fine and will keep trying for the position.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Hey Scratch Team! I'm reapplying to be curator in hopes that I might be chosen this time. I would write up a big long speech, but I've seen that that doesn't really help when I was browsing along this thread. So I'm going to try to be short, but I have a lot that I want to share.

1. The kinds of projects I like the best are games that show creativity and effort, and in particular I am fond of puzzle games but not ones that are too hard. I also like things that open up new ideas that have never been seen before.
2. The limits I would set on my curating would be under 60 views, and under 15 love-its, so that I would avoid picking projects that are going to be viewed a lot anyway's.
3. I am very active on the Scratch website and program, having posted almost 50 projects in only 5-ish months and having written out 1358 comments. Recently, I have also gotten involved with the forums and I am becoming active on their also.
4. If you look at my favorites, you will see projects that I really appreciate. A few are stupid, funny animations that just made me laugh, but most are good, challenging games that are deserving of more views.
5. Lasty, not to toot my own horn, but I am very helpful to anyone that comes to me with a problem and I am very nice and put lots of thoughts into my comments and suggestions for improvement. For example, on my project Marble Maze, I was very patient in answering everybody's questions and concerns, and I always took their advice for improvement.

This is why I would like to be curator. Thank you for considering, and if I am not chosen, could you please suggest to me what I might do better to become one? If it's too much trouble to do that, that's okay.

Thank you! ~plb36

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Curating sounds interesting I havn't favorited anything for a while, but I have spent time programming not really on scratch site- but durring school there's not time for that_ the hardest lesson to learn on scratch is that no matter how brilliant you are when you aim for the moon YOU DON'T LAND AMONG THE STARS WHEN YOU MISS, and believe me cause I've missed a whole lot of times____ So when you find one of those projects that wasn't about the amazing dream goal that you had, that was just a random thing to pass time and it's just brilliant cause it is actually playable and fun, well it's rare but when you find one, people deserve to see it it may not be the best, or the most fun, but it's a game that works, which is something I've had trouble with, always build up a bunch of work then smash I just get tired of it and when games are boring to program, their miserable to play_ Also I like to write, only thing is my writing style fluctuates so my stories aren't cohesive between chapters, but I appreciate good writing, and poetry, which is harder to come by than most else, now Im Gunna post this before I delete it again like all the other speeches, because I know it's bad but it's something that makes sense-I hope-actually(ugh I really want to rewrite this -buuut)<pick random(me)to( not me)>

I'm sorry CatPerson, but unfortunately, new scratchers cannot become curators. sad  Keep programming and being helpful on the forums and eventually you'll get their and can submit another application.  smile

A curator is the person that manages the row on the scratch homepage that says "Projects chosen by *username*" This row is their three most recent favorites.

Unfortunately, you cannot become a curator until you are not a new scratcher. So keep scratching, and then you can apply!  smile   

Also, this might not be the right place to ask a question like that, if you need any more info about the scratch site or program, ask on this thread.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I will post projects that are complex and show quality programming, yet are hardly noticed by the community. Themes I would probably deal the most with are as follows: 3D, sci-fi, some ingenious games, some templates/engines, and other stuff.

Hello, This is balken and I was wondering if I could be the curator?
It seems like a very fun thing... I would make it so everyone can have a chance to be on the front page (not really EVERYONE)

Sincerly,Balken

P.S. I just came back to Scratch and it is VERYY FUN!!!
