How about something along the lines of "your privilege to edit has been temporarily suspended." This is quite direct about what exactly has happened, while reminding the user that they have no inherent right to edit. It also emphasizes the temporary-ness of the action.
Judging by the sort of messages we get afterwards, I also predict it will make no difference whatsoever.
