Hi Scratch Team. I posted my reasons, somewhat 5 1/2 months ago, and nothing has happened. So I'm gonna re do this, if that's okay. 

I am very responsible, I post respectful, useful comments. I always felt bad for the people who say they are not famous, and are never gonna be (the proof is in the Scratch of the Month project), and I want to change that.

People are kinda mean on project, saying a certain project sucks, or if it has way to simple scripts. Even people could say you are a horrible programmer. But that doesn't matter. But that is not what I like to see on Scratch, this is: People having fun, learning how to make great scripts, make art, and much more! Personally, I learn from chanmanpartyman, which who is not on Scratch anymore. His platformers were AMAZING, and that's why I am a platformer. So maybe you can be inspired to do something.

So maybe if you have some effort in your projects, I would love to curate it, and you can show people your programming.

Cyber bullying, and popularity is also my reason. No one wants to be made fun, right?

Thanks for your time!

Can I Join The Scratch Team??? PLEASE!

This topic is not for joining the Scratch Team. Though, every season, we hold moderator elections. But, you must be a scratcher to run in those elections. So maybe you should wait a while and soon you might be a moderator.

It may take a while to join the ST. You have to show that you fully understand the community of scratch and that no scratcher is important that another scratcher. You will have to talk to the ST over phone proving how old you are, and you will have to go through much training.

Recently, I've been on the scratch website and while I've been here, I've found several, astounding projects with great features, but sadly, they have at most 25 views, and I would love to change that. For example, this project caught my attention awhile ago becuase it has great graphics and was fun to play:
Plants
And also, I found this nice project more recently that, even though the project is a bit unresponsive and the scripts could be improved, this was astounding. The graphics were great, I really found it nice, and it seemed to me that a lot of effort was put into it:
Landminer 3.5

And to add on, I have simple rules for curation. You must have either a great project or a project with a lot of effort and work put into, both of which need to have only a small amount of views. Mainly this will be projects with good graphics or that are fun, though I'll keep my eye out for anything else.

So, I hope that you consider me for curator. I would greatly appreciate this opportunity to specifically help various scratchers, and the general Scratch Community. Also, this experience would mean a lot to me. So, thank you for reading this.

It stinks that all the good projects have less than 100 views and scratcher's projects just get popular because they're well-known. Well, i'm done with that silly nonsence. It's so unfair. Fortunately, I have came to the rescue with my curator plan.

 Vote MEOWCAT34 for curator!

Blockspam won't help, and also what zebra said.  It helps to have a longer speech, too.

Block spam is when you put an irrevlevant scratch script to your post.
And, If scratch blocks aren't block spam than what is?

The only time you should use scratchblocks is for showing someone a script (not to put your message in)

Hi there,

I would like to apply for a scratch curator. I would curate projects that not only don't have many views but also have had effort put into them, like Pastel Dreams by Gagamonster105. I would also curate projects that involve some maths like r2dav2's project: Scale

I would not curate projects that have been done quickly or colouring contests.

I would add projects to my favourites 7 or 8 times a week.

Thanks for reading!

Hello Scratch team, since my last speech was a bit long..., I will shorten it a bit. So first, hello, my name is Kris, and I would like to apply to be a curator. There are five main things that I think a curator is ment to do.
1. They pick games that they think people will like and not to be bias. What I mean is that the project is well done (not incomplete, but looks like the creator put effort into their work) and a curator is not bias. They shall not pick projects only to their liking, like only (or picking most of) animation projects, game projects, and soo on. I pick all of them, because I like animaion, games, music, art, story, simulation and other tags 
2. They give words of improvement and comments. Well, being curator is not easy. You have to pick projects and point out places of improvement, if none, comment. Not to hurt the creator, but to give the creator words of advice to improve their game!
3. Not picking recently curated or front paged games. Some people say that if a project has ___ views, they will not curate it. Well, how do you know it was front paged before? Even if it was, and if the project is very well done, I would curate it again. If it was recently curated (I say about 3 months), then no.
4. A chance for people to apply for curations. I will try and look at a lot of peoples' projects, but not all of them. This is where this fits in. People can ask for curations, but I will comment to all comments on my project page. I do not like people that ignore comments, like if someone posts on my project, I will almost everytime comment on that comment. It's like saying someone is nice and not responding. Mean, isn't it? So I will try to give feedback to all people who request to be curated.
5. Curating at regular intervals. This is for fairness. We do not want a project to be up for 3 hours and others 3 days!
Some examples of things I think I will curate is
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/360-International/2113142, I think this users project is very unique and very well done! This user has taken a long time to make this game and if you download it, you see lots of complicated scripts!
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Molybdenum/2630970, make your own art with math and variables, a very good idea!
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/boaz4/2834692, lots of math in the scripts and the physics are very good!
I am free for questions, so don't hasitate to ask. Just comment on one of my projects 
Thank you for reading my (shortened) speech, Scratch On
