I have an idea for another way to pick curtators. Please read!
1. The Scratch Team, ScratchRs, and other people of power on the site vote, which counts as 50% of the final decision.
2. Scratch members vote from the top 3 that the people of power chose, which counts as the other 50%.
Please consider!!!!!

That's a good idea!

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I want to become a curator and select good projects from people who aren't famous like Arch Mage or Death Eater. My goal is to make more new scratchers feel like they are contributing and that people like their projects. It's just not fair if a new scratcher creates something really good and all of the other scratchers crowd around something that is not as good but was made by a famous scratcher.

I would LOVE to become a curator on the front page. I have many favorites that not many people have heard about. Also it would give people a chance to check out m projects! (new one coming soon!)

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

hey, this looks pretty awesome.  i spend alot of time on my projects, and only submit finished, or pretty good ones, so my page isnt cluttered with hundreds of projects (trust me, i have hundreds on my computer) the thing is, i see all these featured projects that arent really that good, and dont look like alot of effort was put into them.  all my freinds (in real life) who look at my projects say that i'm the best maker of scratch games on the website.  i have alot of good games on my computer, but they arent done or have major glitches i can't work out.  i don't like that people who put time into their projects don't get their projects viewed alot, but i realise that you guys cant check EVERY project that  is submitted.  i think this should be more like newgrounds.com.  i think on the homepage, there should be a list of submissions, maybe the most recent 50, and then you can see the picture when you hover your mouse over it.  i also think that you should be able to vote, and if people vote your project low then it gets taken off.  That way, there will only be worthwhile projects on the website.  i am always dissapointed when i see that the projects i spent alot of time on get like 10 veiws.  on newgrounds, my flash animations got over a hundered veiw within a day, and good ratings, even though the animation wasn't too great.  if im a curator, i would like to put a couple of my projects on, but also any worthwhile projects other people have made.  they dont come up often, but i have a decent sized list of projects i thought are good and should be seen by alot of people.
anyway, thats my petition to become curator!
one question, if i make it how will i be notified, and when do you guys choose a new one?

Hey, radicalace, it's nice to see that you're interested in becoming a curator. But you should be aware that a curator cannot choose his/her projects to go on the front page, it must always be projects created by someone else.

To answer your last two questions: Curators are chosen every two weeks. Notifications are sent through the Scratch message system (the area where you see all your messages).

As for getting more attention for your projects: you should try posting in the 'Show and Tell' forum section and tell other users abut your projects. That's a great way to show off your projects to other users.  smile

Hope this info helps!  smile

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Hi Scratch Team. I would really like to be a curator on the site because I like lots of different projects, some with no views and some with thousands. I would like to let some people with good projects be seen and admired. Thats why I would really like to be a curator. Thank you.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would love to be creator I have found some interesting scratch projects over the time i have been part of scratch i think i could get the most helpful ones for scratchers learning new things

Its always good to help other scratchers because sometimes you can find that they might make a great scratch project that you can see out of it.


3 against 1 now thats a bit unfair, how about 6 aginst 1

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would love being a Scratch Curator. I wouldn't pick projects that are well known. Of course they would have to be inspirational. I doubt I would ever become Scratch curator though.  sad
