Controversy and Criticism
The calculator is allowed in exams so TI must do everything possible to ensure that students can not hack it and store cheat sheets and so on in it to cheat in exams. 81.86.119.232 (talk) 23:08, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
I am very concenred that this article violates CoI. Edits have been made here by people clearly affiliated with the site, eg. User:TInyHackerOfCemetech, User:KermMartian (the supposed founder), User:Elfprince13 (an admin of the site), and User:Mrwompwomp, User:Calebhill7 (both active members), User:Sorunome (who added a link advertising a site they are an admin of, the link was later removed). Though this cannot be proved, I imagnie the majority of the remaining substantial edits come from users connected to the sight in some way.

I see you mentioned me and linked to my cemetech profile... I do not share these concerns. None of us are getting paid by Cemetech and it only makes sense for people who are familiar with the site to be the ones writing about it. In fact, I don't understand how it could be any other way. This isn't a giant website with billions of users, the users themselves are more or less the only people who could provide relevant information.

I would implore you to review the rules linked and come to the conclusion that "affiliated" in this context implies benefiting financially. If anything, KermMartian runs the website out of pocket at a loss. I can safely say that I stand by my own contribution (updating the alexa rank in 2018). I also took a quick look at what the other mentioned users have contributed... Elfprince13 fixed a typo in 2011, KermMartian updated the alexa rank twice in 2011 and 2012, Calebahill7 reformulated 1 sentence to make it more concise, TInyHackerOfCemetech updated the number of users and Sorunome added an external link to Omnimaga. The only contribution from this list that I can see someone being concerned about is Sorunome's which was subsequently removed. That being said, had that contribution been made by someone other than one of the Omnimaga admins, I wouldn't bat an eye since it is definitely a relevant link.

Sorry guys. i'm a new editor, and I went to this page from Special:Random looking for pages I could make edits to. Thought it was strange that the latest edit was by a dude w/ the site name in their username and since I saw ads on the site, I thought that money was being made

Request removal of "Cemetech user-projects" section
I'd like to request the removal of the section "Cemetech user-projects". Not only do I believe that the section does not meet the styling guidelines at Manual of Style, it also does not make sense to include user-created projects on an article for the site itself, as these projects are neither directly associated nor endorsed by Cemetech. Additionally, there are thousands of user-created projects on Cemetech with no real way to distinguish what should be worthy of inclusion in such an article, and it is worth mentioning that other articles for sites which include user-created content almost always do not list it.
