This is an annoying feature which I have encountered. I know it is to calm heated discussions, but the ambiguity of the message is belittling. I'm not overwhelming the database; just tell me how long I have if you're going to put me in timeout for a few hours.

It isn't a frequent issue, but putting duct tape on someone's mouth when they're talking about something they care about does not calm them down, even if it achieves the primary goal.
