My account is banned.
I didn't spam, troll or anything else.
All my messages are original content. I have never copied anyone's message. I did not send the same message twice.
Can anyone tell me the reason?

Thanks,

Plagiarism:

Yes, I did this once to give information. This should not be the reason. I send 900 post and all original content!
Please, I will never do this again.  :-[

No. If you plagiarise, you get permabanned - no warnings or temp bans. Nobody "warns" you about plagiarism in uni and no one should here.

P.S. You are banned as a person and as such can not participate via any past, present or future accounts of yours (aside from discussing your ban in Meta).

This punishment is very heavy. It only happened once. Check out my other messages, all original content. Please, I will never do this again.  :-[

No. If you want to try to appeal your ban, send said appeal to the email specified in your ban message.

I know you never respond to e-mail in any way.
This punishment is very heavy. There's 1 in 900 messages. It was also written to give information. Only one. Please, this punishment is very heavy. Please give me back my account.

your a senior member and you still dont know that copy pasting is a forbidden sin here? if your doing it to give information then you must put a source of the link under that post.

I only did this once! It does not have to be that hard! A short article! More precisely, statistical data!

If it is not intentionally done, you should have put credits to the owner below or above the content...

I have not copied a message belonging to anybody in the forum. I only shared statistical data. You do not want to understand?

LMAO........irony......
You have asked and it was answered. Why do you refuse to understand?
Rules. Learn them and use them or be gone.

I did not want to break the rules.


If I had such a cause, I could do it several times in 2 years. I sent 900 messages, I can not break the rules. My purpose was only to give information. I gave that information to support the message I wrote.

Get it through your head, you're done.  You don't have the language skills necessary to come up with your own ideas, and so you resorted to copy-pasting.  It doesn't matter if you did it one time out of 900--you did it and now you're busted.  Now that you've gotten your answerfrom a mod, you can lock up this thread and move on.  And you knew what you were doing and knew it was wrong, so excuses aren't going to fly.  Mods and everyone else have heard them before.

Do you want to see my previous posts?
Open and read!
If you want to see if I have enough language skills, you can check all my posts in the past.

not your posts. account sold between August 13, 2017 and November 13, 2017.

Who are you? Your account created 10 minutes ago. In the second minute, you have written a message about this topic. You have started your forum life with slander at your first message.

I must've been thinking about one of the other banned accounts I just read about.  No, your English isn't the worst I've ever seen here.  That gives you even less of an excuse, however, and the result is the same.  You heard the mod, that's it for you. 

Sorry to hear about this but I get your point that you only did it once. However, plagiarism is a serious matter. Which is probably why the moderators won't allow you to have your account back. Better yet move on already and be careful next time.

There is a little chance of getting your appeals in email approved. But the moderator himself suggested you to do so. If I were you, I'll give it a shot and if not approved then ateast I tried and I learned from the mistake.

I sent him a e-mail but has not yet responded.

Hello Theymos,

My account is banned. And I've posted a topic. Here is the address, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2445628.0
My ban reason was plagiarism. And I've get some information in the below.

###
In this message;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1407327.msg24680957#msg24680957

-> copied text, info, statistical data:
Burning a gallon of gasoline produces about 19.6 pounds of carbon dioxide.
In 2016, total U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from aviation and motor gasoline combustion were about 1,147 million metric tons, or about 22% of total U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide emissions.

-> my message
Gasoline is not good for the mother nature.

Yes, I've copied some text from this page: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/index.cfm?page=gasoline_environment
I searched statistical data about "Burning of gasoline" and I found this page. I didn't copy anything from content, just I've used a tip on the page.

My intent wasn't to make plagiarism or copy/post or something else. I want to say "Gasoline is not good for the mother nature." and copied text is the info. This wasn't plagiarism, this was giving information. I've just want to reinforce the message with statistical data.

Otherwise, if you look at my about 900 messages, you can't see anything like that.
Also, if this was a plagiarism, I am really sorry. This will not happen again.

I want to get back my account. And I hope to you understand me.

Best regards,
freeyourmind

You'd likely have more luck messaging Cyrus than theymos; he's much more likely to reply.

Regarding the actual point, the quote button was always available for if you wanted to quote a section of text. It also very much does look like your account was sold; it goes from someone posting in near perfect English to poor grammar and extreme activity in the Turkish local section. If this is the case, I can't say I feel very sorry for you.

Turkish is my mother language but I live in London. So I always sent my English post to my account.
When bitcoin started to spread rapidly in Turkey, I sent Turkish posts. Because I want to share something with my country's people.
Posts written in Turksish does not mean that my account has been sold.
I am the first owner of my account and I have never sold it to anyone!

Did you grow up in Turkey? How long have you lived in London for?
