But if you get the job, you would just curate you own projects, and that would be unfair.

You can't say that for sure. But still, that's barely a speech. 

Hello. Can I be a scratch curator please? I love, not just games, all kinds of projects which people spend and take their time on, and the project came out really good! A scratch curator once curated one of my projects so it's on the front page! I was soo busy on scratch 2.0 i didn't realise that one of my projects got featured until 2-3 days later? So please, can I be a scratch curator? If so then my dream would come true! ~ magicpotatoes2

I would like to apply for curator because I believe it would be a great opportunity for me and the Scratch Community. I have been helping people with scripts in the forums, and I have been posting constructive criticism on other people's projects to make sure they get the benefit of my help for their project-whatever the project it may be. Games, animations, stories, educational slide shows, and more! I'm not too picky when it comes to curating, and I want to give unknown Scratchers with a talented ability a chance to have a spot in the limelight.
I also think curating is important, and that the unknown Scratchers benefit from their project being curated, and greatly enjoy it. I know I did when I was curated! Anyway, without the curated section, Scratchers with great abilities who are unknown, would be very sad without the curator.
Some examples of projects I would curate are shown below. Some are well-known,and some are older, but I would show less known projects to the public, that are fresh from the community.

Games:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/kittyflier/3000357 I chose this project because of how much effort went into it, and the hard work really shows. The game is enjoyable and fun to play, and the Scratch community would enjoy it.

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/richjones69/3108799 I chose this project as an example because the game is next to glitch-free, and is a good example of hard work and effort, though the Scratcher is well known.


Animations:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/GriaMolar/3116632 This project has great timing and hard work put into it

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MrPikachu/3145684 This animation is very smooth and has a lot of effort into it. It is well known though.

Interactive Projects:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/zevbo/3033423 This project went unnoticed by the Community, and I have no idea why. It's form is perfect in its own way, and no one has seen it.
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/SFollis/3014118 This project is simple but fun to play with, because of it's ingenuity.



P.S.-Thanks to pokemongardevoir, because I went off of her speech, and made  mine!

P.P.S- Even though some of those Scratcher's are my friends, that is not why I picked those projects. I did because I thought they were great examples of the projects I would curate.

P.P.P.S.-Please consider me. I put a lot of time and effort into thinking up this speech, and I want to benefit the Scratch Community.

Hi! I'm going to give this a try. I've got no chance, but at least I can say I've attempted to be curator! Okay, here I go:

I've been on Scratch for nearly two years now and I've always enjoyed surfing newest for amazing projects. I'll usually favorite those and come back a little while later, only to see that they have about 3 views. I really think that there are many unknown Scratchers out there who deserve a chance to be on the front page. It's not only about popularity, but being on that front page can boost morale and make you feel better about yourself, too.

Now, about projects I'd curate:
I've always had a weakness for platformers and scrolling games. I especially love "create-a-something" games that are the perfect mixture of scripting and coding, and provide hours of entertainment.
Thanks for reading! Even if I don't get the job, this was a lot of fun to write ;D

Can I be curator? I see tons of good projects every week that have 14 views. I will put somewhat unique stuff on the front page.

Mostly, I will curate games. But if I see a really good animation then that's worthy too.

I'm wondering how he/she thought up that entire speech! It sure is impressive!

I will like to be a curator, but what is a curator and how do I become one? I have read it but I still don't understand. Please can you explain more to me.

You get to select projects to go on the front page.

My projects are awesome! I love making art so im not very good at programming... But o well! Check out my AWESOME art and stuffs and ya and HAI.

I think i would also be nice for the Scratch team. A lot of people hate me cuz they think im mean and i lie but its not true, actually. I'm telling the truth, honest!

I am interested in becoming curator. if I were curator, I would curate projects without many veiws, or projects I enjoy and that I think other scratchers would like. I hope yo take this sereously, and possibly let me be a curator.

Hey I can be the curator because I always help everyone in their scripts my brothers sisters but if I try to be the curator I would help a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and can I be a member of the scratch community member

Dear Scratch team,
I would love to be a curator
My ideas are to get big projects, with little views to be chosen

Second try.

I would like to be the curator. I like games and animations, but a really great art project would be ok. I always aspired to be curator. Mostly, because I'd be making people happy. That's what matters to me. I don't really care about views. I care about the community.

-These would be my limitations. They are pretty loose:
You must not have been on the front page in the past 2 months. (Top remixed doesn't count, because most coloring contests achieve that status)
-It shouldn't have excessive violence. I'm ok with a little violence, but not too much.
-You should have worked on it hard and be proud to have it viewed by the community.
-Probably no filler projects.
-No more than 30 views a project

I'd also curate projects I was not requested to curate if I really liked them, assuming they were under the view limit.
All in all, I would love to be curator. To please people, to show them I care, to increase my views, although I don't care that much. Thank you for reading this and please consider me.

I think that if I were curator, I would choose projects that some one has worked hard on and DESERVE to be chosen. I am often on the Scratch website and see something really awesome, so probably a lot of people would get their projects chosen. I think that these projects are interesting because I have made some cool projects myself, but sometimes these projects are SO COOL that I want to do something kind of like it, but I don't know how. So, I download the project just to look at the script, and my mind is blown my at the sight of  the huge, colorful script that I see and all the programming there is and I can only IMAGINE how much TIME that took! I would like to give those people the chance for more people to get their amazing projects chosen!
