Can I be a curator?

I think you need to have been on Scratch for a longer amount of time than you. I'm not 100% sure they let new Scratcher's become curators. 

OrcaCat seems to have a lot of projects online already, which otherwise indicates that the user is more likely new to the forums but not necessarily new to the website.

I think if OrcaCat explained more to the Scratch Team about the project he/she wants to display on the front page, then he/she might have a good chance of being picked. 

Yeah, after a nosy look at OrcaCat's projects, I think the same 
Yay cheddargirl!! 

Oh I forgot to add project I would curate. Here are examples!

Pick Me!

Hi I would like to be a curator. I love animation as much as a love games!

well then why not explaining why you favorited them, and propose to be curator! 

I would curate projects that do not have 10 remixes or loveits or favorites. I would curate projects with good music and secrets, and doesn't have one thing off the line, exept for attention.

I'd love to be a curator I'd try to find projects that deserve more view!

why not give some examples of those projects?

When applying to be curator, it's good to give some thought to the kind of projects you'd like to show. "Cool projects that most people have never seen!" is a nice idea, but it doesn't really give us a good sense of what you like and why. We want to know what makes a project interesting to you.

Try viewing the projects in your favorites, and see if you can find a theme that describes them. Talk about that theme in your post, and consider providing a few links to good examples of that theme.

For example, I really like projects that use sound input from the microphone to draw interesting designs on the screen. Here's an example of one that I recently added to my favorites: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MitFan/874786

Let's not forget this, everyone! Explaining what projects you want to choose helps the Scratch Team pick the curators. 

I repeat: (sorry I exactly said this before) I would curate projects that do not have 10 remixes or loveits or favorites. I would curate projects with good music and secrets, and doesn't have one thing off the line, exept for attention.

Everyone, keep in mind when you're asking to be curator that you should tell us what kinds of project you want to curate. While it's all well and good that you want to curate projects with only a few love-its, that really doesn't tell us all that much about what kinds of projects you want to curate. Be sure to describe all that!

In light of Lightin's recent post I'm going to rewrite what i would curate.

A good deal of projects that get on the front page these days seem to be prank projects or have minimal programing (ie-press space to see art! not that these are bad- just taking up more room then they should be. and also the recent "Squidward falls while i play unfitting music" projects. there were 3 on the front page the other day). I would curate games that haven't gotten many views. Games take a lot of work. I would like to see the Scratchers who take the time to create awesome games that take a while to make and put a lot of effort into their programming. Thank you for taking the time to read this and i hope you consider me. 

Some examples: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/johndo77/1268894 really great choices game
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/PacMan3/1273798 Dot Game by PacMan3- i tried to get this featured!
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/HelenWonky/1116484 awesome game based on the big bang theory!

i notice that you said you would curate games without many views, your first example, however, have over 100 views.
