I've seen many Users who are front-paged and then say they hate fame, etc...

So my suggestion is, add some button in the user's My Stuff page that can enable/disable your projects getting to the Front Page. If it's disabled, the User's project can't get featured, curated or in any "What the Community is..." section. Maybe not even in Newest Projects but I don't think that's necessary since it's constantly updated. Maybe if it's enabled you would manually disable it in some projects you don't want in the Front Page (this might get some annoucement projects off the Front Page).

In short, let Users decide if they want their projects in the Front Page or not. What do you think? 

I think it's a good idea...I've seen a few cases like those you talk about.  Usually it's a very popular Scratcher putting up a status report of some sort...and suddenly it's on Top Viewed, maybe even after the news is outdated.  It would be great if the person had the option to pull it off.

Of course,  right now they currently have the option of flagging their own project and asking the Scratch Team to take it off the Front Page.  The team can set it so that the project won't appear on the Front Page but will still be on the website.  That might be all we need for the small number of times this is likely to occur.

Me neither. I wish I could do that to anyones project... (Announcement projects)

I do support this suggestion    In my opinion though, instead it should be activated for single projects, in which you can choose it when you're uploading, and if you forget to, you can choose it on the project page.
