What misunderstanding 
They are doing this for two reasons...
1) to receive merit for "high quality post"
2) to increase post count for signature campaign
...hoping no one will catch them.

It might be a small percentage of people but, certain members will make this mistake and they get harshly called out because of the widespread abuse by other members. It does happen and it's only ever annoying when they continue to do so. The first time their post will be deleted and hopefully a friendly mod let's them know why it's been deleted.
It's obviously abused by certain members, but we shouldn't assume that everyone that doesn't quote/link to original article is doing so on the attempt to pass it off themselves.
Thanks for snipping it in the quote. I gave you a merit for doing it, and I hope it encourages others to do the same.
