I would like to be a curator if possible i would choose cool games and ineractive projects
Offline
Hi Scratch Team! I would love to be a curator! If I was I would choose unique and creative projects, not ones that go for a week, not ones that go for half a second. I would choose projects that must have taken a lot of time to make, and projects that get you thinking. I wouldn't choose half-hearted projects, or ones whiped up in half a minute, and I wouldn't choose any projects with bad language ar fighting in them. I would choose projects with a meaning, a mind and a soul put into them, and some genuine good Scratching technuique. I want to be a curator so scratchers could see hidden talent inside the deep depths of scratch.
Thankyou,
Musiclover331 :cool

Interesting...
But, I have one grievance: There is no 'top downloaded' row any more!
The thing about this, is that it generally was the BEST for finding projects with a true touch of genius to them. You see, what generally got on there were projects where the viewers were thinking 'wow, I wonder how they did that,' and decided to find out.
Removing this category removes the potential for projects with innovative and new ideas and techniques to be seen by the majority of scratchers!
Please, All who agree with me, voice your opinion!

P.s. Now that I am onto it...
If I become A curator, I will choose projects that I described above... Ones which I believe even an experienced scratcher like myself would learn something from.

I would like to be a curator because I would choose awesome games, not some 3 script games. I would change them every 2 days, so 7 times in my curatorship.

I like appreciate games that people take time and effort to make. Games with good graphics and sound Well programmed, a good plot line, and fun to play. The Super Pac-Man games I make are like this, but they only work if you download them, so they aren't very successful.
If I was The curator, I would pick these kinds of projects that people will appreciate, learn from, and have fun playing.
I've seen many projects that don't get the credit they deserve just because the person who made them isn't popular or the projects are hard to find.

I definitely want to be a curator. And, here are a few good reasons why:
1:I make helpful comments whenever and wherever possible.
2:I have a great game that took me a long time to make, which I think deserves more views (Ten Questions Of Doom, if you are interested)
3: If selected as a curator I would search through all of scratch and pick only the finest, most wonderful projects there are, then carefully examine each one and pick 3 for the front page
4: I would never EVER put up projects because of bribery, and the projects would appeal to all audiences, girls, boys, and programmers alike
5:While I don't have as much projects as other people, I am planning on making 8 more over the summer. Also, unlike many scratchers most of mine will be very high quality
6: I have a lot of experience watching movies, then rating them in my head, so I'll be able to pick some enjoyable ones.
7: While the attention is nice, that's not one of the reasons I want to be a curator. I want to be a curator because I think it could benefit scratch and it's many many many people.
8: Instead of just saying " I want to be a curator" I actually took the time to make this list
9: I see a lot of projects that don't get the credit they deserve.
Just adding on to what I could do:
10: A lot of people think that projects with a small amount of scripts should not go on the front page, but I would put projects ranging from 50 scripts to 500!
11: I go on scratch every day
12: I could select projects every 2 days. Of course I could do it every day but the projects I choose need attention for a solid amount of time.
13:Honestly, I think the "recommended gallery" is a wonderful idea and I will check out there first
14: Instead of JUST looking at programmers that are well known ( but I will look at them as well) I will search around scratches newest projects and see if any of those might make it into my decision
15: Here is how I'll work: First I'll search well known and not-so-well known artists, not giving any special exceptions to my friends, then I will pick about 10 to 20 to be considered. I will replay all of them, and get my family and friends to vote on it so I can have projects that are accepted by adults, kids, boys, and girls. That should narrow it down to about 5. Then, I'll select the 2 with either 1)The least amount of work that looks done (so I'll look through the scripts, the length of the scripts and the creativity of the game) and 2) The one least best liked by everyone. So the other three will be on the front page!

I would be a great curator because of several reasons.
1. I will select different projects that are a great examples of programming. I see projects every day that are front page quality but don't get a lot of attention. 2. I will pick games and simulations, not because they have a fancy menu, but because of the quality of the project. 3. I am not trying to get popular off of this and I will not try to use this to advertise my own projects.
thank you for reading and your time
sincerely,

I would love to be the next scratch curator, I would pick the Scratch projects that are creative or fun and put them on...

First off I would like to say that I am not trying to get popular by off if I would become the curator. I would like to be a curator because the people that really only get on the front page are popular people on Scratch and get on the front page within hours of uploading a project. There is to much talent in Scratch for people to only see popular peoples projects. If I become curator I have several goals that I want to accomplish. First off I want to show to people that you don't have to be popular to have good projects and to show people how many good projects there are on Scratch. I will choose projects that are quality projects/games/simulations that someone has spent a quality amount of time making and should get the attention they deserve. There is a lot of unseen talent on Scratch and people who should get noticed. If I am selected as the next Scratch curator I will make sure that people that have a good project gets noticed and should be seen by other Scratch members.
Thanks,
Technoman

How come I can't find all the curator's resume's for this? I checked the last 7 posts and could not find the resumé post for jasb, the current currator, and toasty. Do they delete the post when they get accepted or something?

like i said before, i would love to be a curator and show off the many international projects since i used to have an international account myself and no attention was ever payed to my projects, of course I would not leave out english projects, I would pick smart witty and cool projects to be displayed and I would choose projects with not much attention. I know I have made some mistakes on scratch but if you would consider me to be a curator that would be awesome. PS i would not post ANY violent or innapropriate games.
