 * Contributions **MUST** disclaim if any snippet or part of this contribution was not made by the submitter. This can include code coming from other forks downstream, helped by a co-author, from online sources (Stackoverflow etc..), and from LLMs/Copilot or Other PRs using third-party code. Attatch the relevant sources in the description of the contribution in any form applicable. Failure to disclose this will result in punishment.

   - Ensure as many parts of the contribution as possible do not have an over-reliance on templates, seemingly new and random includes into files, excessive function overloading and random guards or checks for unreasonable or unlikely events.
   - Acknowledge the risks involved and that contributions using these methods may be superseded. All credit is to be put appropriatley by both submitters, reviwers and maintainers, even if a PR is rejected.
 
-* Contributions using third-party code will automatically be tagged with "Expiremental" and treated as the WIP basis for the solution until proven otherwise and overseen by an active developer, maintainer with the aid of the submitter. Generally, it can be a good first-step to look at how others approached the problem, and then attempt to apply that here. However, it is also generally bad practice to lean on third-party code that "Just works".
