I'll reiterate what I said in the referenced IRC log. I think the best and possibly most straightforward solution is not to display a message here at all no matter what the permission level of the user.

- In cases where sites allow patrons to place unfillable holds, the message is confusing. I can't think of any case where a patron would choose NOT to override the block The message makes them think too much. I know there is already an option to suppress this message, but, since the message seems to be causing problems with other sites with different use cases, maybe we can decide at as a community that the message is just too confusing for patrons.

- In cases where sites do not allow patrons to place unfillable holds, then the patron should receive a message saying the hold failed.
