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=2445628.0My 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_environmentI 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,
