How to become a scratcher?

I have made this account over 5 years ago, I have commented and liked and favorited things, and achieved over 1000 posts in the forums. Asides, I have shared 2 projects on this account.

What's still missing? I am really sorry if this is a weird fit for this section but I don't know any more.

Thanks for asking, but yes (else you can't write in the forums, comment or make projects).

You need to share 2 - 3+ projects to be eligible for Scratcher status.

Posts don't actually help in getting Scratcher status AFAIK.

That's what the ST says.
In reality, you need to share 3+ projects.

It is true. I had another acc that was a few days over 2 weeks old with two projects. After sharing a 3rd project, I got the invite not long after (it sometimes take up to the next morning tho)

That's abnormal. It should be at LEAST 2 and a half weeks.

How to become a scratcher?

the scratch help center says this:
New Scratchers have many of the same capabilities as everyone else. You can create and share projects, you can participate in Studios created by others, and you can comment throughout the community. After spending a bit of time in the community, making and sharing projects, and commenting helpfully to others, you will receive an invitation to become a “Scratcher”.



Scratchers have a bit more experience on Scratch and have proven that they both contribute to the community and make it a supportive and welcoming space for others.They don’t just follow the Community Guidelines, they also set a great example for others. As a Scratcher, you will have access to a few extra things on Scratch, including access to cloud variables. If your account is a regular Scratch account (not a student account) you will also get the ability to create Studios.



To become a Scratcher, you must be active on Scratch for a while, share several projects, and comment constructively in the community. After a few weeks, you will receive a notification inviting you to become a Scratcher. If you accidentally close this notification, that’s okay! Look for the link at the top of your profile page (next to your username) to become a Scratcher.



If you don't see the invitation yet, keep making and sharing projects, commenting helpfully on other Scratcher's projects, and be patient! After a few weeks, you’ll see the link on your profile page.
I've heard about this happing before but I've never had it happen. I noticed that you have only shared 2 projects maybe sharing more could help?
