OK, I see what you mean. The subject has to jump around to make it work, which makes it inconsistent with the other glosses, if nothing 
else.
"(now)'s not the time for _running around_"
vs
"_running around_ is not the word for (it)"

Structurally it doesn't fit. Compare with the other glosses:
遊ぶどころじゃない - not the time for play.
どうかしたどころじゃないよ - not the word for something wrong (?)
That's why I replaced it with "level of".

It might not fit every use of the word, but it's an an adequate translation in some cases.

I try and avoid such long notes, but it's rather meañingless without that one.
