Curators
Why do we have just 1 curator?
There are alot of hard-working scratchers out there (plus alot of horrible, pointless projects) and they want to be popular. So they spend 1 month of hard work on it, post it, and then you fantastically find out that a curator looked at it. They might say, Hmm... no. It turns your hopes down. If we get more that 1 curator, We might get the attention we need. Please, Scratch. Please grant my plea! (get it?)

Re: Curators
The front page would be much too long, as if it wasn't long enough already. People would say: "hahaha! I'm on the top row, you're on the middle! I'm better than you!" and other stuff like that...
Besides, curators are constantly changing, one every 2 weeks, and a suggested 10+ projects to curate every period.

Re: Curators
pretty much what kayybee said... it could cause confusion too! it also helps to advertise projects in the show and tell forum and in your signature. and just because one curator turns you down, it doesn't mean the next will!

No no, it wouldn't be sorted in stuff like "great", "good", or "ok", it's just to expand the front page to get noticed better.

i think what kayybee means is that if there were more curators it could be like this:
Scratcher Curated by 1st Curator: Haha! I'm on the top row of curated projects!
Scratcher Curated by 2nd Curator:

If there were more than one curator at a time, it would probably feel less special 
Curators are changed every two weeks, so you don't have to worry too much about being stuck with one user's taste for too long... but yeah, only three curated projects at once (and those are usually only shown for a few days (I only featured projects for shifts of two days) too) isn't too great. 
BTW, the Scratch Wiki has an article about curators here.
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A VERTICAL ROW. THEY ARE EITHER ROWS, OR COLUMNS. NOT BOTH.
Person on first row (yes, row.): haha! I'm on the top of the columns!
Persons on second and third row:
AHEM
Mods have a purpose.....?

No, why would the Curator get kicked off for what a curatee did?
READ CAREFULLY.
Actually, the curator would get booted for what he/she said that insulted him/her.

So, if this curator thing has been going on for 2 years, how come we have only had 47 curators? wouldn't it be better if we had more than 23 1/2 curators per year? we could replace it by 4, and it would be 94 per year!
