Scratch

wow so many scratchers wanting to be curators,i'll admit i wan't to to even thoguh i'm new to scratch but also because of that same reason i don't want to put up games that might be awful to experienced players so i guess i don't want to be a curator for now

@winkleden-Remember, it's not just "i'll do it" and you'll get the position. Try putting some reasons other than "it's cool", because everyone thinks that. Why do you want to be curator? What might you curate?

Yes, I want to be a Curator. I like any game/animation's that has good drawing.

Here is another attempt to become a curator, and also to make a proposal that is longer than Jonathan's one.  So here it goes:

I would like to become a curator because:

1. I would pick projects of all types, music, platformer, animations, art, simulations, and all other general games.

2. I know A LOT of Unknown project creators (just look at my friends list) and I see several new projects each day.

3. I would search through the 'Show and Tell' Article on the Scratch Forums. I would also make a project called 'propose your best projects here' so scratchers can link their and other people's projects for me to explore.

4. With these 2 resources for projects, I will plan to add a new project every twelve hours, giving the picked project about 36 hours on the front page and give it a healthy boost of 300 views.

5. I have been on the scratch website about a year now and I have a good taste of projects ( not just os's    ), and will also take into account how many good and deserving projects they have made which shows that they are a good scratcher.

6. I will only pick projects that have less than 100 views, and that have less than 20 love-its. I will however pick projects that are in a series and the predecessor has been curated before. I have seen A LOT of good projects and I knew how I felt when I first published my first OS. (Thanks LS97    )

7. I will favour and more likely curate projects that run well online (or at least run well online), and make sure that there is no offensive material in them (that's for you, kids), and that they will be exciting to all audiences (not 'Barbie Dress-Up).

8. I will be fair and give each project the same chance (unless it falls into the previous paragraph), regardless who made it. I will not however curate projects where the creator will likely to be mean to his commenters or just not say anything to them.

(Where I stopped last time)

9. The amount of projects I see that have less than 50 views and are good enough to be curated is just incredible. I know so many scratchers are amazing and deserve to have their projects curated. But, just to show you, here are some of the scratchers that have good and worthy projects: 

Prestige

SeanCanoodle

ilikewaffles

zxcvbnmkj 

Dom818

hackjack

BigDolphin

10. In case I don't find any worthy projects ( I sound like a god    ), I will ask my friends to help me find some and make sure that my front page curator page keeps on moving. I will also check previous curators favourites page and look at what projects they have favoured after their time as a curator.

There is 2 more points. 

More anyone?

@optimax-I think mine may be longer than yours, or just a little shorter, because you abuse the enter! (jk) my speech Also, remember, long doesn't always mean good. (not saying yours isn't good)

Eh... I can't tell whose's longer.


@jfmlove6-Remember, you don't get to choose your own projects when you're curator, you have to choose others. Also, maybe add [url] tags? And, you should look for projects that the whole Scratch community would enjoy.

@bananaguy, eg, and wikkowokki-maybe try to describe more, like why and what you would do as curator, also some examples.

Heh, I guess I should take that as a complement. xD

@lucarcus: Why not show an example of those 'kinds of projects'?

My Favorite project is this   http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/JJROCKER/1488996

I would like to be a scratch curator even though I don't do many Scratch projects.

I really like projects that ___________ Here's an example of one that I recently added to my favorites: __________

That is kind of like a base. I just blanked out lightnin's post. fill it in with what you would do as curator, but don't post it. Take the filled-in base, and make your own speech out of it. I figured that would help, as that's what I did when I made my speech.

I do all sorts of things. Strategy games, Platformers, shooters, space shooters... It would be nice to choose games to show the scratch community. If I'm not chosen, fine, but atleast LOOK at my scratch projects.

please may i be a curator because I do not think that friends things should be on there unless they are really good, I have seen some really good projects. I will probably change projects quite often and I will definitely put my favourites that I think will get lots of views or if it is suitable for all ages so that I don't put up a killing and swearing game and a 7 year old plays it because that is wrong.thank you.

why don't you try waiting a few months between requests.

and maybe give some examples of what you would choose
