Friendly People Are on the Front Page!
What about the Scratch Team choosing certain helpful and kind comments now and then and putting the writer's projects on the front page? There could be a new row called Friendly Scratchers Projects or something. Thx

Re: Friendly People Are on the Front Page!
Cool idea 
There are a lot of helpful, friendly people on Scratch, so this might work - it might be a little hard to choose, though! And maybe they could pick three people at a time, so that one person wouldn't "dominate" more than one square. 
After some thought, I came up with another reason for supporting this! Currently, some people might try to get on the front page in negative ways (spamming, creating drama, etc), but this idea could make people far more positive

That was basically what I was thinking when I wrote this. However, the main concern is that the front page will have too many rows. I suggest deleting the top remixed row as I see many people creating mutiple accounts to randomly remix their projects. As the top remixed usually contains only maybe 20+ remixes or so, it is pretty easy and would take only a few minutes and then BAM! They have a front page project. Also, you could pick out users that have made many friendly comments. For a comment to be considered friendly, it must be:
Helpful
Kind
Does not discourage creator of original project
Different from the other comments in a positive way
Thanks for reading!

I don't mind the Top Remixed row: just warning you what cunning users can think off. I have alot of creativity too but luckily for you I choose to use it to help others:D
