have you reported the post? let's see if he will be banned for that or not
if his post is simply removed without further implications (ban) then something is going on

User banned.

I could possibly said that; if going by what he has committed as stated by the OP, he deserve a punishment even though he's known to be a forum member because others have served similar punishment on this same platform, it will be against the rule of the universe if not punish for correction. He could be giving some some months of rest before gaining back the freedom. Just my 50cent please.

Although the global moderators know more convenience punishment for such offense.

Looking at his post history I could only say two things, one is he forgot to put in the news article's link as all of his posts from the press board have links in it and two is that he might be one of those guys promoting one particular news website which in this case is cointelegraph because all of his news being shared in the forum came only in cointelegraph. I wouldn't say that he didn't commit plagiarism but coming from a guy who has been known for sharing news from one news website and has also been putting the image thumbnails for that news with the watermark "cointelegraph" on it shows that he is not purposely doing any plagiarism.

If I understood correctly, this user is boosting his post count with the publications from other resources on an ongoing basis and he doesn't provide any original thoughts. In my opinion, this is not much different from spam.

For example:

A female of baronial rank has the title baroness. In the kingdom of England, the medieval Latin word baro, baronis was used originally to denote a tenant-in-chief of the early Norman kings who held his lands by the feudal tenure of "barony" (in Latin per baroniam), and who was entitled to attend the Great Council (Magnum Concilium) which by the 13th century had developed into the Parliament of England. Feudal baronies (or "baronies by tenure") are now obsolete in England and without any legal force but any such historical titles are held in gross, that is to say are deemed to be enveloped within a more modern extant peerage title also held by the holder, sometimes along with vestigial manorial rights and tenures by grand serjeanty.

I think the initial ban wave for plagiarism was a wave of high enthusiasm by moderators when the rule was imposed. Since a few days have passed by and the most heinous offenders said bye bye, the criteria for a permaban has reduced or at least maybe the stance has softened since then.

but I don't think forgetting to add the link in the Press section once is enough for a perma ban for plagiarism.

could it be because the post was in the press subforum?
and forgetting to cite the source would be somewhat understandable
any thread there will always be a reposting of article from other sources
so for sure, OP has no intention to claim the news as his own work

I would not agree (with global mod who delete thread) that his offense is not for at least temporary ban, some other members who get perma-ban did the same thing - they forget to add source link and this is consider as plagiarism.

What is suspicious in this situation is that thread is deleted as solution, but such things should be marked as good or bad, not in the way to sweep things under the carpet.

There seems to be double criteria for plagiarism on this forum, some members get perma ban, others have luck that the plagiarized post is only deleted. Few days ago I report post from very well known forum spammer, where he forgot to add source link (to much copy-pasting), and instead ban his post is just deleted so he can continue with his business.

I doubt this is decision of some global mod as hilariousandco (maybe I am wrong), but I want to know why this member has a protected status on this forum?

Only a Global moderator could have possibly handled that report because there's no dedicated mod for the Press section and the user isn't a Newbie so that rules out patrollers, but I don't think forgetting to add the link in the Press section once is enough for a perma ban for plagiarism.

Whether that user is spamming or making unsubstantial posts or not is another debate. I would personally say a warning is in order seeing as the majority of his posts are seemingly in the Press section, but there's no rules against that and I have long been an advocate of locking/archiving that sub all together because it's served its purpose and is just abused like this now.
