Hi Scratch Team,
I would like to become a curator. Now everyone is saying there's is different then everybody else's but I am not going to say that, mine is not different then everybody else's. I am really not in it for the fame, I am in it because I think it will be a fun experience for me. My theme would be animations, and my backup plan would be simple games. Also, all of the projects I curate would be under 100 views. Thanks for taking the time to read this. It would be a pleasure to be curator.
Thanks

Hey! I know you get tons of applicants wanting to become curators and that they all probably seem very similar. But, my application is very much different, as I would (almost certainly) be the first iPad curator.
I've proven that I'm reponsible in SDS curating, commenting and general interactions. But being a curator is more about the projects, and less about the curator, so I'd like to explain what kind of projects I would curate.
I know that making games can be fairly hard. With that being said, new scratchers often have a hard time getting feedback on how to improve their projects because they aren't well known. Sometimes when they don't get attention they even start posting disturbing things. But when you showcase their work and give them pride in their work, they are more likely to get something out of Scratch and maybe even come back to give back to the community. So, if I were a curator, I would pick well made projects that have room for improvement but are interesting/fun.
Thanks for your time.

Hey there! I know you have a lot of people asking to become a Curator but I've been on Scratch a while and have had a lot of experience with Scratch.I've also had experience with comments too. I know what projects are really good and that the person put a lot of effort into it.I've seen really awesome projects out there. I know when someones having a hard time and I usually step in and help smooth things.I like helping people that are beginners. Please think about it!

Hello, this is a thing that no one has ever done. I'm gonna do, a song about why I wanna be curator.
(Rap beat)
I wanna be a curator,
It can be sooner or later,
I can be next after mewkid,
And if I can, it will be a total win.
(Chorus)
I wanna be curator!
It can be sooner or later,
I can be after mewkid,
And if I can, it will be a total win.
(Solo soft)
A total win,
A total win,
if I become a curator.

Hi Scratch team,
I've spent the last two weeks looking around for awesome projects with under 150 views, just to see how many I could find. Guess what? I was dumbstruck. I found Google-level coding with 12 views for a year. I picked the top few and put them in a gallery called To Curate to see if I could get to be curator and feature them. Here are the reasons behind some of the picks [the gallery]:
Pizza Timer was a clever solution to a real-life problem. It shows a language as simple as Scratch can be effective in real life.
Mechanics is a very professionally done platformer, creator deserves recognition.
Tetris is a nicely programmed, highly glitch-free game. It shows you don't need high-level graphics to get a good effect.
Advice is a hilarious and simple program that randomly gives, well, advice. The language construction is good, all random sentences have proper grammar.
Our Solar System is a model of our solar system, cool because it's far more accurate and uses elliptical orbits.
Repulsion is just fun to play with. It's very professionally done, though, with edge wrapping and friction. Beats Club Penguin's Puffle ROundup engine any day.
Physics Chamber is a nice, accurate demonstration of an orb on a string.
JUMP! is a cool concept game.
torpedo is a simple project, but the graphics are extremely clever.
Bezier Curve is useful if you want to know what a bezier curve is, it is easy to play around with.
One Way Circuit is educational, fun, and professionally done. I may consider it, because it's by illusionist who is already pretty popular.
I hope you consider me. The above users deserve the recognition they would get by getting curated. You can check out the gallery mentioned above, I'm still collecting projects, so there are more to see over there!

Been awhile
Hmm... A curator seems like a big responsibility. I have now been on Scratch for I think about two years now. I was around when the curating began (Though I did not have an account). Since then I have wanted to be a curator, though that doesn't sound much different then the other one-thousand applicants. I realize that the Scratch Team want's a curator that will choose projects the community would appreciate. I believe that right now people want good animations, and games based on what I have seen. I will not choose projects now, but rather stage a contest where people can enter their animations, and I might choose them. I don't know if this is the way the Scratch Team would like me to do it. And I can change the way I select projects. There would be rules to entering the contest, like, you must have had an account for a month, the projects must have less than 100 views, etc. Now let's get to the checklist.
On often: | X
Knows the Scratch community well | X
Has had an account for a year | X
Never been banned | X
I believe that I check out. Also, I have been curated. So I know how I would want it done. A few examples of what I would curate would be nice. So here is one Rocket Racer. It has more views than I would like, but it servers an example as to the type. It shows creativity, and while the sprites may not be as good as some, the programming is well assembled, and this is not a 10 second project, it is something that must have taken quite a while. I don't need to plan ahead for projects, as people always bring projects to curators, and I can use the show and tell as a backup plan. The Scratch Team wants a wide variety of Scratchers. They want gamers, storytellers, animators, boys, and girls. I post projects often, help out the community, and try to be an important and great member in the community.
A note to the Scratch Team. I have been checking the thread daily, and have been reposting every month for a year. But to what avail?
