Well what happened... haha that's quite a story.

It really wasn't that funny, but let's see.

I didn't really feel like joining SSRP too much and I got caught up in other games.

This was a big frustration for us, you seemed to blow off SSRP and then at the same time had almost a hundred hours on other games in the past two weeks that could have been spent on SSRP, but you chose not to.

This was the first week which I had a "normal" week again. This time I, in fact, DID play on the server, and I did, in fact, do my duty.

We looked through all of the logs and seemingly didn't find any trace of you really doing your job of what is expected with this role.

Yes, my activity wasn't much last week, I agree on that. But It was still an improvement of what It used to be.

And as far as I know, people know I am someone who improves in steps, I don't scale a mountain at once, I do it in steps.

It was still little to no work on your part, the head admin roll unfortunately isn't that easily comparable to a staircase like you're trying to make it seem with the whole "Taking 1 step at a time to improve". We gave you multiple official warnings, but you still had done little to none with the position you were promoted to even during this week you were back to a certain extent.

I'm appealing because I do kinda still like SSRP,

You only "kinda still like" the server? From the way you're wording it, it sounds like your interest is hanging on by a thread for the server, and your activity honestly reflects that.

Yes, my activity was low, and yes I agree with it. But I don't think you should instantly demote me

After the multiple official warnings, weeks of inactivity proceeding each one, this definitely was not an instant demotion. Your activity was low, the work you put in reflected it, what would the point of demoting you to Moderator or Administrator be if this sort of behavior had been continuous?

because I am someone who improves stuff slowly this wasn't really completely my fault.

We gave you so many chances, 10 to 11 weeks at the most, we are there to help you to an extent, but this was just completely crossing the line and at the end of the day we had to take action.

At the end of the day, you were given multiple official warnings, countless weeks to work with the issues and hopefully come out on top of them with improved activity and getting back to helping out the servers - but we saw little to nothing from you at the end of the day. You were a great staff member Akemi, but during these past 10 weeks it's felt you've only drifted away from the team, lost interest playing other steam games, and at the end of the day we had to take action. This demote appeal is not fair to any of us and only selfish.

You can hardly call someone "selfish" for appealing a demotion. It is perfectly fair for her to appeal the demotion if she believes it to be invalid, and it is more than fair for her to state her own opinions on it (and for you to state your opinions too of course). She is appealing the demotion because she wants just this one last chance to show that she can improve and do something to help.
Some of the points you have raised do seem to be a little bit like they are nitpicking in certain areas.
She has stated that she was starting to improve when she was demoted, I don't know what goes on all the time within the Lead Team, but if she had been starting to improve and do what is expected of her again, then you could at least try to see it from her perspective that, even in a tough situation in her life, she was trying to do something and do her job still as a Head Admin, which does show a lot more dedication on her part.

All in all, I feel you are focusing on the negatives too much, and the one being unfair here is you. Akemi & Anna have done a lot for the server in what I have seen, and for her to have even been trying to keep on top of things with what was going on shows a lot of dedication, even if there is less turnout in terms of the work done.

Many times during her period of inactivity I attempted to contact Lead Team members multiple times about various issues on the server. You replied once (although I tend to contact you less than others, due to timezones), Tyler replied once. Whenever I have messaged Akemi / Anna about something, I have always received a response.
