Code of Conduct

• I have supplied a reproducible sample that is NOT FROM THE SHINY SAMPLES!
• I am a Sponsor OR I am using the LATEST stable/beta version from nuget (v3.0 stable - ALPHAS are not taking issues - Sponsors can still send v2 issues)
• I am Sponsor OR My GitHub account is 30+ days old
• I understand that if I am checking these boxes and I am not actually following what they are saying, I will be removed from this repository!
