Scratch

I would Love to come one. I am loyal to scratch and am on here about... 21 hours a week. I am active on the forums too and active on  the main website. I would Pick projects that reflect on the scratchers personality and culture.    thank you and I hope you consider me. 

Hey! I can't remember if I posted on here or not, i spent so long wondering whether I should be a curator or not I can't remember if I did request to be one on here.

Anyway, I am an experienced scratcher, who made the most successful advertising thread in scratch history that reached over 5000 views! I have also been voted a total of three times to be featured (Generation:3000 twice and Panders Quest once) but I didn't let Paddle2See feature Panders Quest because it was not finished, and Generation:3000 sadly didn't work on his flash player.

Also, I would bring world peace. Joking, this isn't a beauty pageant. I would look for projects that inspired me. Sadly, most of the projects which actually did inspire were already quite famous enough, and I don't want to waste front-page time on projects already well known. I would have picked Doodle Zoo, Space Invaders and Unpredictable, but only the latter is not popular, and by the sounds of things it is gaining popularity quite quickly. I've still got plenty of time to think though, as like with every other curator, I'll probably have to wait a while before becoming one, IF I become one.

In general, I've made good games, meaning I am experienced and can provide knowledge. I gave advice for speeding up projects here, and I also advertised for scratchers here! I've done little "bits and bobs" for scratch, and I hope that you all at Scratch Team appreciate it. Thank-you.

I would be interested in being a Scratch curator.
Each time I would chose 1 project that is helpful, 1 project that has good programing, and 1 random project that shows that the maker tried their best.

I think I should become a scratch curator because i would want projects which are original, funny and overal make people laugh!

I would love to be scratch curator! it is my dream. I really like projects that people worked really hard on. I mostly would curate games but if there really good i might curate an animation.

Hello ubertech and Benjbob!  Unfortunately, neither of you can become curator's until you graduate from being a new scratcher. Keep working hard, and be helpful on the forums and you can be a scratcher in no time. Then you can reapply! 
Best of luck, ~plb

I want to be currator! I choose carefully and will accept projects of all kind.

I would be interested in becoming the Scratch curator. I would select applications that are games or stories that deserve to have views but do not. I have some experience with Scratch applications, but I don't have any monster applications. Let me know...

I am mattb777, and I am applying to be a Curator. I have been on the site for 6 months. I have seen many great projects that have been neglected by the Scratch Community. I hope that I can have the ability to make those projects noticed by many Scratchers. Newer Scratchers can use the projects as inspiration for their own projects. The older Scratchers can finally see projects that would have been on the front page years ago. The best Scratchers that are unknown can finally "be in the spotlight". I understand if you didn't pick me, but I would be the best choice.

Hello Scratch team!!! I would love to be curator! I had one of my projecrs curated but i have never been a curator! I would like to get a chance to be curator! Thank you!

I would really like to be a curator. However, I am still thinking about some things...

What if the current "curator" picks a violent project? It'd be shown off on the frontpage for about a week...

Well that person might loose theyre currator job... and that project would be flagged by then probably.

you forgot your signature cat, oh forgetful child.

Now that I am a full scratcher I would LOVE to become a currator. I would pick funny ones, educational ones, and not just one topic; ill pick diverse subjects. I would pick some for all ages , meaning not too violent, Id pick some of my personal intrests and I will pick ones that I think the person did a good job on and put good effort into 

I hope you consider me,

Hey Scratch Team! I'm reapplying again.    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 over 50 projects in only 5-ish months and having written out 1653 comments. I have also become very involved and helpful on the forums.
4. If you look at my favorites, you will see projects that I really appreciate. Most are good, challenging games that are deserving of more views.
5. Lasty, 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.

Some projects that I would curate would be:
Drawoodle by Luluthing Becuase it is a creative, simple, and fun multiplayer game.
aMAZEing by jojomon becuase although it has more views than my limit, it deserves many more for its intuitive concept and simple and addictive gameplay, as well as a cool soundtrack.
Slide by NetWeb becuase it brings simple gameplay concepts with a classic arcade feel and has a great inteface.

This is why I would like to be curator. I hope you consider my application, as I sincerely would love to be a curator.

Thank you! ~plb36
