I had a look through your appeal and dug around for more information surrounding this and even though Red x was misinformed by lead team that it was fine to continue to staff/punish users after making a resignation post still dosent turn away from the fact that you had many recents including a recent ban that you just came of, you should be thankful that you got away with a week and 2 days ban instead of trying to appeal it, i suggest reading the rules carefully and trying to follow them next time.
