Community Guidelines
Welcome to the HughesNet Community Forum! The HughesNet Community is here for you to search for answers and ask fellow HughesNet subscribers for help. This is a great opportunity to discuss and exchange information to enhance your HughesNet experience. Here are guidelines to keep the community constructive and friendly for all. You can also check our comprehensive rules in the Terms of Service. Please do: 1. Practice internet etiquette To provide the best community experience, please refrain from using ALL CAPS, “bumping” topics (this is commonly done by posting on an old thread to move it back to the top of the list), harassing other customersor using topic titles that are not directly related to your post. Just be respectful. :) 2. Stay on topic Every customer here wants clear and straight-forward assistance. Please be courteous to other customers by stayingon topic andcontributing constructive replies. 3. When in doubt, start your own topic The best way to attract attention to yourquestion is to start your own topic instead of posting inside of another customer’s individual topic. 4.Summarize your concern Use a subject line that summarizes your concern. This helps othersunderstand what you’re experiencing faster, and makes it easier for other customers with the same concern to find your topic. Good examples are: “I can't access Facebook”, or “I’m unable to send e-mail with Outlook”. 5. Provide relevant details Include relevant detailsabout your concern in your post. Helpful things like what operating system and web browser you are using go a long way. Even better things to add are details such as when you first started experiencing the problem, and what you have done so far to troubleshoot. 6. Protect your privacy and others' Avoid postinganything you wouldn't want on a billboard. Yours or anyone's HughesNet account number, physical or mailing address, telephone number, credit card numbers or e-mail address are not to be shared publicly for safety and privacy reasons. For a safer and more enjoyable Community, it's best to avoid: 1. Using profanity Although we do have an automatic filter for inappropriate words, avoiding the filters by purposely misspelling or disguising profanity will possibly result in your post being removed. 2. Trolling, spamming, soliciting, or insulting others Our goal is to provide a safe, welcoming environment for everyone. Continuously posting the same thing repeatedly, ‘trolling’ (posting rude, offensive content or disrupting a topic for the sole intention of upsetting another user) or otherwise posting inflammatory content is not tolerated.Soliciting others to engage in legal action or for advertising is also not accepted.
