The Cemetech file archives are open to all user submissions, within reason. Files must be compressed in zip (Windows) or tar/tar.gz (Linux) archives, and are limited to 2MB except for special cases cleared with a Cemetech administrator. All file uploads (and updates) are subject to administrative review and may be rejected for any reason, including but not limited to inappropriate, stolen, or copyright-infringing content.
There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate data from incomplete data
Yes but want things like details..
For example, does Kerm want specific games.
DOES HE WANT A README??????????????????????
and any other thing i should be wary of.

A read-me wasn't mentioned, so it appears I was wrong about that.
As for games,

So, your submission should likely be accepted.

Since ticalc.org rejects guessing games and quadratic equation solvers, except under extraordinary circumstances, I decided I would follow the same. 
hmm when i type either into ticalc, i get OVER 9000!!!! results that are in fact guessing games or quadratic solvers.

You may have noticed the low numbers of new files added to our archives. We're having a debate about what to do with a growing problem: Programs that simply aren't very useful to anyone. There are more quadratic solvers in our archives than should ever exist, notwithstanding the fact that most models have this as a built-in feature.
Well, I can't find the exact article about it, but I'm 99% sure that that's the policy now.

Yup, just make sure you put it in a zip file and add a readme. but at least my choice battle game is good, right?
readme:
should contain the following
1) name of program
2) intended calculator platform
3) date when it was released
4) your contact information
5) what buttons to use in the game
6) how to upload your game/program up to the intended calculator
7) how to run it
Not necessarily in that order

Do not bother adding a README with your files. Barely anyone reads them anyway. Add a IGNOREME file instead. It seems to attract attention more. I don't think they reject them anymore. When they split directories by genres, they somehow started accepting new quadratic solvers and guessing games again.
In fact, a quadratic solver was added a few days ago: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/429/42908.html

Huh, I wonder why they changed their minds. Thanks for noticing that, Kevin. I think I'll still be cautious on adding those two classes of programs here, though.

I almost always read the readmes, but I do tend to read IGNOREME files more often
The first thing I do whenever I get computer software, board games, new equipment, etc., is read the documentation-including read-mes, or watch tutorials and such. I don't like to use items at all unless I know exactly how to do it.

I couldn't make such a blanket statement. If I unpack a webcam or an SD card, chances are I'm not going to bother reading the manual placed prominently in the packaging until (unless) I plug it in and nothing particularly helpful happens.
Returning to the point of this thread, to some up the major file uploading rules for Cemetech:
1. Files must be compressed in zip (Windows) or tar/tar.gz (Linux) archives
2. Files are limited to 2MB except for special cases cleared with a Cemetech administrator
3. All file uploads (and updates) are subject to administrative review and may be rejected for any reason, including but not limited to inappropriate, stolen, or copyright-infringing content. Needless to say, this right is a formality and is not generally abused. Some administrative license is taken in attempting to maintain a high quality of submissions, of course.
