Can I join? I can advertise Scratchers in my projects

Out of curiosity, what are the requirements for an “unknown” Scratcher?

Hmm, this seems sort of like one of those charities where the owner spends the money on whatever he'd like, instead of donating it to those ‘orphans’, or in this case ‘new scratchers’.

Look at all these ‘Fresh Supporters’! They've requested to be a member! But what does that do, does that do anything for people who want attention?

I mean, two ‘Supporter’ ranks aren't even about supporting scratchers. It's just advertising this thing. You're getting member after member, but has this charity been doing any good? Who has seriously benefited from it? You are getting the attention you want, but the people supposedly targeted aren't.

Just pointing this out, I don't mean any serious offenses against this.

I agree with this completely. I think you guys can do much better than you're doing now.

I understand you. I'll make an example so you can understand what i want to do doing this easily. Someone sees this project, and he wants to help. He doesn't want to put an unknown Scratcher name in his profile for some reason, so he just joins as a kind supporter. How will he help here? He'll advertise and someone will see the same thing here. He could do the same as the one mentioned before, but he could also want to feature a unknown Scratcher in his profile. That's what i'm looking for. Those who joined as fresh supporters may make someone who's here want to help, looking at the high amount of people that are in. Also, i've been “featuring” unknown Scratchers since 2.0 was out. I featured TruBlu (Reason of his “fame”) and Instinctive, who has got some attention.

No, I'm not blaming you. You're a great Scratcher, and your humble and like sharing and things. However, I don't believe that this is being used to benefit, and think it could be improved.

Instead of giving people ranks, and making them feel superior and important, you should have a small group of people, who search all of Scratch and bring great projects to light.

Thanks. I see what you want to mean. The rank system is meant to be used to encourage people have the highest rank. By having the highest rank, they would help a lot in this project.

Ok, and I see how that could be encouraging. I just feel that it's wrong somehow, and would make it differently if I created a campaign like this myself.

Yeah, it can be. You would have done it better. At first i didn't want to make a topic, but i had to to encourage people to give attention to unknown Scratchers, because the project wasn't working.

It's ok, good luck with the project!

To end this quote chain, but also help the conversation, I will offer a suggestion. Perhaps make the kind supporter prerequisites the qualification for fresh supporter, and then on one of the other ranks, have the member advertise a lesser known scratcher in their signature. Just a thought.
