Let's make a contest for political talk :-)
I'd say... in comparison to the usual "you can edit !"
make it "you can not edit !" :-)

As we have seen numerous times in the past, users who are new to the Wikipedia tend to vastly overreact to being blocked. Some people throw quite a fit even when they're blocked for a mere 24 hours.
A friend of mine suggested that perhaps the word should be changed to something more euphemistic and something less harsh than "block". I can sympathise with this thinking, because if I saw a page telling me I'm "blocked", not knowing what it means I would probably interpret it to mean "blocked indefinitely", and as we know people don't tend to read the entire message and hence don't notice where it mentions the time limit.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any ideas what to call it instead. So I'm wondering what everyone else here thinks?
