Am I allowed to ask a Curator to consider curating my Project?

Hi,

I know, that it is annoying when one comments on another Scratcher's Project asking to look at another Project.

But, it is also frustrating when a Project that one spends many hours on gets only 3 Views no matter how one tries to legitimately advertise it.

I do not want to Spam, so, I wonder, am I allowed to ask a Curator to please look at my Project to see if it is worth curating or featuring? I am sure that the programming in my Project is not trivial.

I never thought it would be this hard to get Views, even though it is my first Project (on here)...  sad

You sure are allowed to ask! Just know that some curators already have what projects they are going to curate planned out beforehand, so they might not get the chance to.

Welcome to Scratch BTW  smile

Another way you can get views is using the "Show and Tell" Forum section.

Many curators will make threads requesting for unique projects to curate, so be on the lookout for those  smile

hey, this is a little off topic but... if you want more views, wait until you become a "Scratcher". Then, you can put stuff into your signature. Like mine, see how I advertise my project? I got like 20 views outta that.

But to become a Scratcher, I need to upload more Projects... and I only want to upload Projects that are clever and worth uploading... and if a Project is good and worth uploading, I want to try to get it to be viewed  hmm

Maybe the best thing to do is just forget about the third Part of that for now, but that is hard...

Well, looks like I will be making a String of confusing geometry Projects before I make my next planned appealing Project  lol

Re: Am I allowed to ask a Curator to consider curating my Project?

Ask them in a kind way, for example: "What kind of projects do you plan on curating?"

its a nice way to say it and its not spamming.
