It's not a question of punishment, but of protecting Commons' reputation (from being" brought into disrepute", as it might be termed)
There are two ways of looking at it though. In one narrative you block Harald and delete his images to protect reusers, but in another narrative you are telling content creators that the few rights they are nominally granted by the required license (e.g. attribution) are worthless because if they try to enforce those rights we'll kick them out.
Ultimately though, I wonder if this mailing list is rather a poor venue for this discussion. Isn't it more an issue for Commons?
