Support! How do you propose the Scratchers will be found? Like with Featured projects, where an unpopular project is suggested in the forums?

Maybe contact us?

EVERYONE! THIS IS NOT ABOUT FAME, BUT ABOUT HOW NICE/RESPECTFUL/HELPFUL THE USER IS.

I think we should have a featured users section. I see a lot of really good users that don't get noticed. (And no I'm NOT trying to get noticed with this.)
There would be a featured Scratcher AND a featured NEW scratcher.
Limit followers: (NS: 10) (S: 50) Does that sound good?

Here's my idea:

Pros:
Scratchers with more experience get their work seen more.
Featured Scratchers get a morale boost.
The community gets to see examples of the best ways to use Scratch.
More focus on quality.
Popularity spreading from Featured Scratchers to the others that show up linked in their profiles.
New Scratchers who need a boost and get featured will feel much more encouraged.

I think the ST would look for users. And maybe you could you propose users like how you can propose projects to be featured.

This user was featured because (s)he helped dozens of other Scratchers with their scripts on the forums.
This user was featured because (s)he created many helpful tutorials for other users to benefit from.
This user was featured because (s)he dedicated his/her time to stop online bullying and gave many nice comments.

Okay, looking over at this thread again, I've decided that I support. However - I think that there should be maybe one featured user at a time (or maybe a few, but not as many as featured projects), for about a week, with a description under them telling why they are featured.

Now this is where my idea for this is going: the user being featured isn't necessarily because of good projects, but because they set a good example. So there is a lot of focus on what other users can do better.

But users should still be featured to showcase their programming skills, especially if they do things that make it easier for newer users to learn like comment out their code and make it easily understandable. After all, Scratch is educational, and this could greatly improve the learning curve.

No, I disagree. One thing on the Scratch Forums that I don't like is people always saying that everyone on Scratch cares way to much about their follower levels. However, I believe that there is a fine line between

guys plz follow me no one likes me

and

I wish more people gave me feedback on my projects to make them better.

I think that this suggestion is more on the “Can you look at these projects and help me make them better?” side of the spectrum.

Anyway, I support.
