I think that the best action in these situations is to, as an admin, edit the quote out of their post. It’ll give them an edit notification and they get to think about what they did. Other people can also click the edit pencil and see that you edited out the big quote, and they’ll probably catch on.

If one person keeps doing it, you can PM them.
