It's a shame because I really do like the service and even have stock in the company.

They didn't like one of the YouTube videos I posted.They stripped you of your Champion status because of Youtube videos you posted? The Champion title, which I never earned on the old HughesNet GetSat board, is, from what I understand, a title to allude to you being a knowledgeable member of the Community that can be trusted. What happens outside this Community shouldn't really matter, or at least to a certain extent. This is just my opinion, of course.

In today's environment many would consider it racist, just as Blazing Saddles would undoubtedly be considered to be racist.
Stephen's taking an undeserved hit here...

And heck, I personally find Dave Chappelle hilarious. I wouldn't post a video of his in here, but I do like his satire and comedy.

YouTube takes down content all the time that they consider offensive and racist. The video I posted has been hosted by Google before they even owned YouTube. Google recognizes it as commedy and has no problem with the video.
Was the video inappropriate? Yes, and I admit I was trying to troll people.
Was the video racist and am I racist? NO.
I'm half white, half Iranian and my wife isn't even from the USA.
I don't mind being called a lot of things and I actually encourage insults against me but I am not racist.

And it doesnt help things with these companies so terrified of offending anyone, and going overboard to remain neutral and/or politically correct we dont stand a chance.Isn't that going a bit overboard? A company wanting to keep their support community as user friendly as possible and not wanting to have something on the community that might offend someone makes it so we don't stand a chance?
I don't quite get how them not wanting something on the community that someone might find offensive would interfere with a person's ability to find help with an issue or help someone who is experiencing an issue.
And you're right, with many things it is how it's taken, but in this setting how it may be taken is a important thing. In this setting it's best for them to err on the side of caution.

Shoot, I still contribute even though my champion badge was taken away. It takes a lot to hurt my feelings.

I've seen some things on this board that wouldn't be tolerated on my regular one, and nothing is said. There doesn't seem to be a specific set of guidelines regarding what's allowed and what isn't (unless there is and I'm just not seeing it), so I agree, a warning would have been more appropriate. Though ultimately inappropriate, compared to some of the things I've seen here I don't think it was that egregious.
And it's good that you do still contribute. The more people with knowledge, the better.

Up to 12 mbps implies that you will get 12 mbps at some timeActually, it implies that you may get 12Mbps, not that you will get 12Mbps.
