There is a difference between recents and active warnings.
Recents are any punishment over the last 2 weeks, active warnings are warnings only from the last 24 hours or so.
You got banned for too many recents, I looked at your recents earlier and saw you had 5, and here you got another one to put it up to 6, which means Tom is more than right to ban you for a couple of days. I would suggest appealing that punishment from earlier today, which, if accepted, puts you down to 5 recents, at which point you can appeal the ban.
