Allow more curators in PPTBF

Hello! before you start telling me this isn't possible, please read the Whole OP.
Why should we add more curators?
I have asked for 3 projects to be added over the span of 1 month and not one has. This probably has to do with the recent incline of scratchers. Also, 70% of curators haven't been active for over a month. I believe that adding more curators with a tougher application process would have worthy scratchers join. Finally, a lot of the active scratchers in the studio have moved on to other things. Here are some points to think about:

In the studio descriptions it says the scratch team is not looking for any new curators at the moment, so I guess not. However, in my opinion it's time to let the new generation of scratchers help out. But I am not the one to decide.

Yes support. It seems like my comments never get awnsered so this would be helpful. Also this might seem a bit off topic but how do you become a curator anyhow?

There is a application that they put in the studio.

HUGE Support, in the about 10 times I've proposed something, I only got a reply for two

On my old account, I just asked scmb1, and they let me curate, even when it said that curation is closed. Contrary to popular belief, people like @Twin138956Scratch are active a lot in the studio, and I find them adding most of the projects.

So, I think your words “the curators aren't active” is wrong. You might just be arriving at a time when they aren't.

Anyway, I'd love to have more active people be curators, so I'd be all for this.

Yeah, but curation isn't open it hasn't been ever since I joined

Support (for obvious reasons) sometimes it feels like nobody's even there

Yes, I'm aware of that, but are the curators spread across multiple timezones, I guess it also depends on when you propose, so it doesn't get pushed down before any of the curators see it

I don't see that…

Anyways, support since this can give a big chance for people to help around, and that activity has been slowing down there. However if they are going to allow more curators, they still need to put restrictions on it. One of the restrictions should be that Scratchers applying should be on Scratch for at least 6 months and have the Scratcher status, to make sure that more experienced Scratchers curate.

Support! I remember like 2 months ago the curators were very fast in putting the projects people asked and just 1 month ago I tried to ask a project to be featured but no one ever answered my request.

Whenever I've proposed a project there, it's gotten added. However, I've only ever proposed 2 projects. However, when my friend proposed a project, it didn't get added. So more curators would be nice, but I don't think it's necessary. Especially since people can re-submit projects if they don't get added.

Support! Sometimes, when I ask for a project to be added, it doesn't get added, even though it fits all the requirements and I asked multiple times.
