Scratch

Dear SDS
I would love to be a curator on the scratch home page because
I would only curate non-famous projects. I wouldn't curate any projects with blood, guns or any kind of violence. I will only curate projects that have under 50 love-its. I will only curate projects that haven't been on the front page (but they should have been)
Just in case your still questioning my points look at this gallery to see what I would curate! http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/169954

I'd like to be a curator. Projects I would curate would be ones that make you question how the creator made them, projects that teach you to do stuff on Scratch. For instance, a project that teaches you to make a turbo mode detector, and stuff like that.    And fun games, of course!

If I was the curator I would try and add projects with very good art, as it is hardly ever seen on the front page unless it is a colouring contest, or stick man art, and I think there are many talented artists out in the scratch community that deserve recognition. Also I would try and choose projects that have less than 7 love-its and less than 30 views, so don't get  much of a chance to be under the most viewed/loved sections.

Hi I'm infinityblade23 and I want to be a curator on scratch and this is why.

I think I should be curator because I am nice and kind to other scratchers and adding them to my friends list. Once someone was sad on scratch and I made that person real happy.

If I get curator, you made a smart decision.

Hi, I'm coolhogs. You might know me from these forums or from the main site. But the main thing here is that I, coolhogs, would be glad to take the position of curator.

I see many things here that are impressive, but have little views. Just take a look at my favorites page. That's why I would only curate projects with only 30 views or less.

I'd curate platformers. Why? Well, my first project, and the first project I viewed on here were both platformers. It's also exciting to explore different levels straight from the author's creativity. I'd curate platformers of all kinds, neon, blue, wall-jumping, etc.

I also would curate paint editors. Why? Well, they inspire creativity for all. You can paint, draw, erase on them. I'd also curate text editors, for the same reasons above: they inspire creativity.

Thanks!

and will not curate them because I am in the collab 

Dear Scratch Team,

   After a lot of thought,  I have decided to try for the curator position. I understand this is an important role with certain responsibilities, but I think I'm ready to take it on.

   In my view, the Scratch Community is about sharing ideas,  creating new things, and working together. I believe being a curator highlights these qualities.

   I have a thread that features projects, to hopefully prepare me to be a curator (Here it is, if you're interested). Also, I am the head of two different Scratch Collaborations, so I know about sharing, and the responsibilities of this. If I were a curator, I would think long and hard about the projects I would choose. Most speeches say that they would curate projects that have under  Enter Amount here love-its and Enter amount here views. I believe different.

   My thoughts about Scratch have changed ever since I was featured (Thank you, Scratch Team!). I had finally felt what it was like to share and give feedback on projects with lots of originality and hard work. My project had 150 views when it was front-paged, but it didn't matter. I believe that if I see a project worthy of being curated, I would curate it. But, of course, not a project that would already have 500+ views (in my mind, it was as known as already being front-paged).

   I have looked at my favorites, and it seems I like unique projects. Ones that are totally original, ones that show what Scratch is really capable of. Ever since I joined Scratch, I have been thinking hard about the types of projects I would favorite, long before I had even considered being a curator. Thank you for considering me, I know this is a big thing. If you would like to see the kind of projects I would curate, please check out my favorites.

                                                                                                        (~HumHumGames~)

I was just joking! I think you and humhumgames should become curators!

Just so you would understand, I would like to be a curator on the Scratch homepage. I thought of displaying projects that help keep Scratch and other websites safe. Like here's one:

I hope so. I've been thinking about it for a long time.

Me too.

I've got a lot of notes in most of my projects, aat least 2-3 paragraphs.

All my comments are insanly nice to people's projects. I'll uselly delete the spam I see. I can seem to be what a moderator does for some reason. It's like I got their jobs, which is very pleasent to me:)

I always greet my-self to the new scratchers when I see a new/first project. I always give credit to people's stuff I use.

Ofcoarse, as a good person, I'm VERY honest:)I'm very interested in becoming curator.

I scincerly hope I could be a curator, starting Augest 13th...

I like this idea a lot, especially since it gives opportunities to the community to share their opinion. I would like to become a curator because some people have great projects that no one discovers and brings out and I would like to be able to do that. Another reason I want to be curator is so I can choose games that will give a good impression to people who want to start Scratch. In fact the reason why I downloaded Scratch was because the projects on the first page made a big impression on me and I thought, "I want to do this to!" So becoming a curator would contribute in that sense. I love level games and action games. I also like games where you compete against another player and puzzles that make my head throb.    Well I hope this is what you need to know....          <switch to costume[ curator maybe!
