    They need to get their stuff together.

    There are several reasons why these Breather messages appear, and hear they are:

    1) You already reached your daily limit to answer questions.

    2) There are the same links in in several Q&A's.

    3) While you were writing down your answer, the question was removed.

    4) There are more than four links in your answer.

    5) You voted too fast

    6) Your Y!A behavior is similar to a Spammer so you are being blocked

    7) You have been on the system too long

    8) Your browser's cookies are sending the wrong info

    9) You used the percent sign or the plus sign in your answer.

    10) You have been on the answer's page for more than three minutes without doing anything.

    Hope I helped!
