I notice the original post has been altered for "winter housecleaning" or whatever. How very odd. Why? And I see the good doctor is still suspended. Oh my. I seem to remember it being mentioned quite some time ago...
Is there not a royal suite/private terminal (a.k.a. small, dilapitated, 1950s-era shack) near T4 somewhere for the purposes of VIP transport on private jets? Would the Queen not use this?

), personal attacks on other members, duplicate handles, and talking about moderation - although you generally have to be a persistent offender to be suspended for that, but it does happen. I have also seen suspensions for repeatedly going OT after mod has asked it to stop in a thread, but again that's quite rare, and not surprisingly, I've never seen it happen on BA 
To be permanently suspended, one has to work quite hard at it (unless one is spamming or dupe handles) - there are usually shorter periods of time one is suspended for before a permanent banning will be brought in. But the longest of the shorter periods is for a month.. anything longer than that usually indicates a permanent suspension.

Obviously the toilet would have been removed entirely. Royalty do not have excretions.
