Scratch

I would like to apply to be a curator for the Scratch team. I'm a good animator/gamer, so I want to look for games that are good (but somehow challenging). A good example is by this awesome Scratcher: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/benjamin2/2631700

Hi Scratch Team!

This is my sixth attempt at becoming a curator. It's also my 2,000th post (I'm not superstitious, but hey...). I suppose I'll start with a little about me on Scratch. I'm a (hyper) active Scratcher, going online at least twice a day. I'm very well known, especially on the Advanced Topics. My projects are popular, usually with 200+ views each. I have been featured once. I recently surpassed Lucario621 (wiki admin and forum mod) as the 6th top Wiki editor. As you can tell, I'm pretty happy around here. The reason I want to be curator is so that I can make a couple more Scratchers as happy as I am with Scratch, one day. I know I was catapulted into "fame" when I was featured; when I met lots of brilliant Scratchers on my projects. I'd like to give another couple of Scratchers a shot at it.

I'd do stuff a bit more differently than what other speeches I've seen. For one, I wouldn't try to curate as many projects as I could. Given 14 days, I'd curate 5 projects, but for 3 days each, so that the curated Scratchers would get to really enjoy it.

I would curate a diverse range of projects: not just games and simulations (I am biased towards hard math), but art, and even remix chains (I find these very interesting even though other Scratchers often get annoyed by their popularity). In fact, I promise to curate at least 1 of each of the above genres. Remember once we had a curator who curated just animes? Many Scratchers were angry. I was intrigued by the anime community on Scratch. Oh, and I learned what anime was.

Unlike many curators, I'd set the bar at 50 views, rather than 10 or 20, because a good project will get some views, and deserves to get many, many more.

I'd better stop here, before this becomes an obnoxious wall of text. As a parting shot, check out my To Curate gallery. There are some good projects which I would consider. Note that some of them have gotten more views since I added them, but don't worry—I'll filter out those.

Thanks (for putting up with my speech), and Scratch On!

This is my 3rd try at becoming curator. If I do become curator, I will curate projects that have the following:
- Hard work (lots of effort was put into it.
- Creativity
- Appropriate projects
- not too many views
- AWESOME projects
and
- all of the above

How I will curate projects:
I will rate the above on a scale from 1-10, and if the average scores above an 8.5, I will curate it.

Genres of projects I will curate:
- Games
- Animations
- Tutorials (These can be very helpful, especially to new scratchers)
and
- entertainment projects

Hope I become curator, and SCRATCH ON!

This shows that I would be a good curator.

Can I Be Curator? My favorite themes would be games that are addicting like this: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/racecar2001/2645922 and funny projects like this:http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/racecar2001/2646071.

Scratch is a community for artists, programers, teachers, eniginers, students, scientists, game designers, and animaters. Scratch is not a hard programing language to use, its is relativly straight forward yet it can do a variety of things and some very amazing things. Every one starts somewhere, and in scratch it is ideal for beginners in programing. I got interested in programing through scratch. I think as a motivator to the newer members of scratch I as a curator would like to highlight the newer or atleast unseen even if thy've been here a while, scratchers. I created a gallery a while ago that had the same motivation, it was not very successful so i would like to try again at the idea when I am currator. Here are a few projects i might feature: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Ro555/1551097 , http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/nCPU/2473500 , http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/5oepal-dfpt/2492623 , and http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/gwas/2623869 . so I hope you consider me as a option for curator! thank you for your time 8D.

PLZ make me a curator! If so, I'll do ANYTHING! <3

I would like to be curator because I've seen people who have amazing projects and only got 12 or less views and I felt so sad for them and I want to show people the work they did and that persons talent. The people want to see what the people want to see and that's what I'll do for them. That's why I, soraandsonic, wants to be your curator. Thank you for your time.

I would like to become curator.  I find many wonderful, yet unnoticed projects every day.  I was curated once, and it was the best moment of my life.  I want other scratchers to experience that feeling, as well.  I would curate projects that show the diversity of the scratch community.  I would also not curate projects made by well known scratchers.  Unlike most other scratchers, I will set the limit of views at 100.  Therefore, moderate scratchers, would still get a shot at being curated.  Thank you!

Sounds interesting. I would put projects that aren't inappropriate. I would put projects that seem to be good and deserve to be front paged. I want to become one because I would like to put projects on the front page. Can I? 

Attempt 4

I would love to be a curator on the Scratch homepage.

I would curate projects that range from a few hours old to a few weeks old, but I will mostly curate the newer projects of less-known Scratchers. I am a particular fan of puzzle games, platformers, but I also like many projects that are not games.

I wouldn't curate projects from very well-known Scratchers, because that isn't the purpose. One, they'll get tons of views and comments anyway, and two, there'll probably end up on the front page for most viewed or most loved.

I would add a new project about 3-5 times a week and I would accept requests but they'd have to follow guidelines, such as being appropriate, having a certain number of views/love its or less, and certain facts about the scratcher (not being frontpaged recently, for example).

Please consider letting me take on this role as it would be a fun and learning experience. Thanks!
