In general, I believe that people posting only the content from a source and having no further opinion of their own, should also be punished, maybe a warning.
It's punishment enough to make small adjustments to the rules and give the moderators freedom to delete such posts and threads. When they fail to reach their signature quota, they will first complain about it and then look to change their habits if they want to get paid. Since those low-effort posts are mostly made to up the post count, their goal is to get paid and when they don't, you will get the wanted results.
You're right. Recently, I tried to complain to the moderators about topics that were simply copied and had a link to the source but did not have the opinion of the topic author himself. Such topics were removed, but I only complained about topics where there were no answers from other users or there were only two or three answers. From here, we can understand that just copied texts with the source can also be interesting for discussion.
But your second statement, where the user can change their habits, is also true. And so it happened. Now he quotes other people's texts, but besides, he writes something from himself. I am glad that he quickly realized his mistakes. I would like to believe that the same will happen to others who simply copy from the Internet with the source without their comments.
