Dear, Scratchteam I would like to be a curator.

- I would help scratchers with problems and answers, be respectful to the scratch rules.
- I would make scratch.mit.edu safe, also help to choose safe projects for the front page.
- I would be friendly to the scratch community and help make improvements to Scratch.mit.edu.

If you feel I am not ready to be a curator, please let me know what I need to do.


Thanks!

Dear Scratch Team:
I would like to see if I could curate. I will make sure the projects are good enough to be curated. I would be responsible to be a curator. I know I'm only 12, but I am mature. and I would curate projects that deserve to be curated. thanks.
Sincerely, Ean173

Dear ST,

I was wondering if I could be curator? I mean, there are so many bajillions of great projects that don't even have a view!

These are the kind of projects I will select:

* The project must have under 25 love-its.
* I will select projects that are creative, and have something to them that makes it enjoyable.
* The projects I select will differ from how long the scratcher was on the website (eg. good starter projects)
* I will hopefully choose new projects every three days, if I'm available. If I'm not, I'll let Paddle2See substitute hopefully.
* I will be focusing on graphics, gameplay, and the amount of lag.
* MUST work well online.

Thank you and that's all I have to say.

Watt are you doing?
That's quite shocking.
I wouldn't want to be in your current situation.
I bet you can't wait to go ohm.

I have a Normal-type FS with Smeargle, and… uhh… I can't remember. It definitely doesn't have Ditto, though (obnoxiously…)

Paddle won't be able to substitute for you.
  • He chooses featured projects.
  • He'd choose stuff that you wouldn't.
  • Curating runs off YOUR favourites
  • If you can't curate then no-one will step in. That's how it's always worked.

Welcome to scratch tickl3r
you won't be able to be curate because these reasons
  • This account is too young
  • You need to make a good reason why you want to be curator

Best wishes in your scratch life

I always liked scratch!. I have been on scratch for 1 year and 4 months, I would love to be a curator and curate projects that are not the most popular and not the most unpopular,I havn't been featured that is ok, I would prefer , being curated, I have been waiting.I Would love to curate some projects but I Don't know if it will happen?, If it does then I will be really really happy, because I have been waiting for a while , because right now I would be doing just some little things, instead of being little things… then I would Just curate other peoples then they will be happy and so will I! so I would love to be curator.

My Final Version of My Speech

To my fellow Scratchers, and to the Scratch team, a good day.
I would like to be a curator for the next 3 weeks. First, I am adventurous to look for other projects away from the front paged ones. Second, I can see all the sides of a project, though I may not say what I think about something. I would curate projects between simple and understandable programming (at my point of view). One good example is this project, which uses 4 arrows to make art. I would rate a project according to its originality, creativity, and neatness, and unpopularity.

Now, this is the expanded version of how I rate a project:
  • Originality(25%): How a project is new. If a project is renewed, it would then be judged according to what was changed from its original version.
  • Creativity(25%): How a project uses sprites and programming.
    In sprites, I would look for artistic creativity.
    In programming, I would find out if the project uses some uncommon blocks like , and .
  • Neatness(25%): How a project uses sprites neatly (without any other extra sprites which won't be needed) and how the program was done (I won't allow a project with a lot of scripts which was cut piece by piece).
  • Unpopularity(25%): How a project repels other people from seeing it. (This is about its views, favorites, and loves.)

If a project reaches the score of 75% or above, I would curate it.

Dear Scratch team,
I would like to curate. I understand that I am only 11, but I was in the school computer club in Primary 4 and they taught us how to use Scratch, and in Primary five they also taught us scratch in ICT lessons.
If I were a curator, I would
1) pick those who have under 20 views
2) encourage those younger than me to Scratch
3) Try to answer younger Scratcher's questions patiently and with the most I know
Best regards,
Upsilon

I would like to apply to be a curator. Why should I be curator? I've been on Scratch for 1 year 8 months, and am a very active user and know a lot about Scratch. I always try to be helpful to everyone, and I enjoy creating tutorial projects that help people out. I am also a wiki editor. I've never thought about applying, but I think it'd be a great opportunity to show some Scratch projects I see that deserve more views. If you want to see one of my projects, Artist 3.0 is my best. You probably know I'm active here on the forums. Thanks! And I respect your decision if you do or don't accept me.

And I really don't have a specific theme of projects. I like a huge diversity. here is a unique one that I found. Actually, uniqueness is my theme.

I think I would be a good curator because:

-I See what a project could be, I see the potential and help the creator as much as I can to make it better
-I have a good amount of scratch that I know and a lot more to learn
-I am following a wide variety of scratchers and I am not biased
-I like to look in the recently shared projects and see what a wonderful job of programming those people are doing

I have always wanted to be curator ever since I joined scratch and i hope you take me into consideration.

yours truly,

I want to be the front-page curator. I would curate these projects:

  • Projects unheard of
  • Projects by scratchers unheard of
  • Good Games
  • Good Animations
  • Funny Projects
  • Helpful Projects
  • Projects That Welcome New Scratchers

I would also check with the scratch team if any of my projects were okay to curate, if not, I won't curate them.
It would mean a lot to me if I was selected. Thanks Scratch Team!

Hello! My name is D-Man9293! I would like to be curator, because there are so many projects on Scratch that are really good! I might check it out in a week or two and find a horror: 13 views! Every project should have its fair share in popularity! I know that there's about two million projects on Scratch with less than 20 views! I think that all projects should have over 5 hundred views and 50 loves!

There's a few projects I would not curate, however. If there's a project with these classifications, I would not curate it.
Blood and Gore
Cussing and other language
Stuff you would find in a Video Game rated “M”
Projects shorter than 5 seconds (unless it's really great art)
Horror/Frightening projects
Anything with more than 200 views and 25 love-its
Projects by me
Projects longer than 10 minutes

I have lots of limits, but here's a few thing I will curate
  • Platformers with great art, scripting, or both
    Comedy Animations without the aforementioned things I won't curate
    An artistic project with great imagination
    Projects that just seem cute to me that I think others would enjoy
    And much more!

Here's a few projects I would want to curate:






There you have it! Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Actually, I never thought about it before. All the Muppets are left-handed.

That is awkward, but I've seen you posting here even though it's not your curator application. Please don't do that, as @Paddle2See wrote. You can comment on the profile, though. That's what I do.
