Scratch

I'd really like to be curator! Iv'e been looking at a lot of people's projects, and some of them deserve a lot more views! There's a scratcher called superscripts, and they shared a really good first project that deserves  a couple of love-its, and Dallenzao shared a really cool scratch computer! those are just a couple reasons i want to be curator. 

Hey Scratch Team!

I would like to apply to be a curator. I have been very active on scratch since I started, commenting on people's work, posting on the scratch forum and creating a few of my own projects. I wouldn't curate projects that have quickly been done in a day, or a project that just has a gif. file which makes it get popular.

I would curate projects that:
  -have had effort put into them
  -don't have many views
  -have good artwork drawn by the creator of the project

Projects that apply to this criteria are projects like numberonegamer's: Scratch defense 5.2 or Gagamonster105's: Pastel dreams.

I also think I would be a good curator because I have already had this kind of experience with my review shop. If I were chosen I would add projects to my favorites about 6-7 times a week.

Thanks for reading!

OMG, I would love to be a curator. I would be GREAT at it. I have been here on Scratcher for 9-10 months now(I think), and would love this opportunity.

Scratch is the best thing on earth, especially for other Scratchers.

If I could be curator, it would be my job to help out the Scratch community. People who have very poor views(somewhat like me), aren't as happy as they would be with lots of views. I did have very poor views, but with the help of, the_Hawk_arisen changed that for me.

So I want to help with other Scratchers too. If you could pick, I would never be more happy!

                    Thanks, your fan,

Hello! Nomolos here! I would like to propose to become a curator!

Scratch is a truly amazing software that teaches kids and teens the basics of programming. But sometimes, you just don't have the motivation to continue! You spend so much time on a project, and you upload it, but weeks pass, and maybe you'll get a view or two, a comment, and one love-it. It really makes you feel like you're not appreciated. Especially when there are all those other projects that didn't take as much work on the front page. (No offense to the makers of those projects. It's not their fault they're famous)
I want to become curator and curate projects that people miss when they search, but are really cool and unique. I want to help the people that don't get any motivation to continue and keep sharing projects!
I would curate fun, educational, unique, and over all great projects, but aren't viewed and seen by the community. I want to help the users understand that it is not that their projects are really bad, it's just not found. I want to give those projects a chance to shine on the front page.

Please consider
~Nomolos

Hi ST,

I'm roijac, active since about one and a half years, mainly in the AT's. I made quite a lot of math/algorithm related projects, and I'm the main M30W developer (text-based Scratch in python - check it out  )
I wasn't featured yet, but was curated once. Especially when I started, I was very annoyed that nobody looked at my projects.
As a curator, I'd like to curate all kind of projects from more or less unknown scratchers, like this one, this beautiful pattern or this game, though I'll slightly favor more math/science related projects.

I believe that just by looking at most recent projects one can always find good projects that deserve views and respect, and I'll try to find some projects to curate this way.

I'll also try to curate some projects from the German communmity - I speak German fluently and I feel the ones that cannot speak very well English don't get  as much attention some of them deserve.

Thanks for reading, and please consider me!

Hi!! I'm funnymee323, and i would like to be curator.

I would curate projects that:

-Have a unique aspect to them
-Have had a lot of effort put into it
-Are original
-Things that are fun to see, watch, or do
-Things by people that aren't very well known, and deserve a chance to shine.

And, i've also read that it's always cool to curate 'unique things' And i like origami, so i started my own origami tutorials on scratch, and i would like to curate other things related to origami too!!!!

Many thanks, funnymee323

Yay cheddargirl!! 

Yeah, I forgot to say what I would curate. My favorites are: Random Blue Planet Creator, starfox 3d, and air to air missile defense. Random Blue Planet Creator is awesome, just I want someone to make it into a game, but I don't have enough time. Starfox 3d is totally awesome, but it has very few views, so I think it should be shown on the Scratch home page. Air to air missile defense has really  cool graphics, but it is kinda pointless, so I tried to turn it into a game, but I wasn't good enough. I would like a more experienced Scratcher to turn it into a game.

And I'm now a Scratcher, not a new Scratcher.

Okay. I think I'm ready to be a curator (soon). I've been on Scratch for over 2.5 years. I've seen a lot of projects. I've found three with less than 100 views/10 loves. After I finish my Pokemon game (which I expect will give me a lot of views, the intro alone has 120), I will make a "Curator" project where people submit their projects. But don't choose me until I finish my game.

looks cool

Post a speech? How do I do that? And it may take a long time before I am given the scratcher posistion.

Just say why you want to be a curator. And to be a scratcher you need 3 projects.

Hi ST   

I know I only started yesterday, but Scratch had sucked me in, like I was reading a fantastic book. My friend MrPikachu told me a lot about Scratch, especially the new-updated one, Scratch 2.0 (Am I right?) Although I am new, I would be enjoyed to be challanged...
If I was a curator, I would curate projects that are;

-Simple, but an original work. eg: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/beakeagle6/3024456 (From beakeagle6) or http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/EPICPIKAGUY/3052403 (From EPICPIKAGUY)

-Imaginative, they usually my favorites.

-Stories, could be fantasy, fiction or non-fiction. Any types of genres are accepted, as long as they are appropriate for all ages. eg:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MrPikachu/3043539 (From MrPikachu, not because of she's my friend, it's because it's a really good stiry, with lots of great VCOPs (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers and Punctuation) )

-Animations, the best bit. Funny ones, tragedy, any kind! As long as they are good, no one would resist to curate.. eg: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/SkyDreamKittyArtist/3081562 (From SkyDreamKittyArtist, syill a Work In Progress, but somehow it made me stuck in to the Animation...

I will curate projects that have 35 or 40 views below, and usually from a semi-famous or unpopular Scratcher that hasn't been curated yet. You can think it as of it's their moment to shine 

From all above, I would say, thank you, and I hope you appreciate my speech! (Even if I'm not a curator! Never give up, and keep trying, that's my motto!)

Thanks, ST! (Say hello to Scratch Cat for me! ^^

Sincerely, TheSoulWhoNeverWas.

2nd try.
I would love to be a curator as this sort of oppurtunity happens once in a lifetime.
I would curate projects that are really amazing but have very little views. I will not accept any projects such as
Coloring contest entries
Updates
I quit projects
Projects by a scratcher who left scratch
Bloody,gory and too violent projects
Inappropriate projects
Scary projects
Prohects by a scratcher who has been front paged during 3 months(excluding newest and sds).
Please give me a chance as i would love this oppurtunity.

Jus saying, that you should also list things that you would LIKE to curate, instead of things you won't! Just a suggestion though.
