    Have you had a number of suggested edits rejected recently?

    Go to your profile and then the activity tab. Narrow it down to suggestions. Then click on those to see whether they were accepted or rejected.

    If you have a number of edits rejected, you get a time-out for a week. I don't know if that's the case here, but it might be. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/76251/…

  • In the latest build, it seems that they remove the link to the details of each suggested edit. I have filed a bug report.

You've had an abnormally large number of your suggested edits rejected. When that happens, the system automatically prevents you from suggesting further edits for a week.

Looking though your suggestions, I think I see the problem. You've recently been suggesting quite a few edits that consist of simply applying code-formatting or bolding to text. This can be helpful when placed around sections of actual code, but when used over a large number of words in prose, it just makes posts harder to read. I'd suggest not doing that.
