"malicious quote editing, changing the contents of a quoted post without showing the original text, either through color changes or strike-out"

I don't see how this is malicious quote editing, since I didn't actually edit anyone's post.

As far as I can see, you linked quotes of other posters, but renamed them "Biden supporters"/"Other Biden supporters" as well as changing the actual content of their posts to "Nothing to see here folks" and "Best shot of beeting trunp". Changing another players' post like that even to make an argument can be regarded as malicious quote editing (a form of flamebaiting), which Farn warned you for. I'm not seeing any reason to go against the original ruling, so appeal denied.

I would register that I quoted the person above me just so it would redirect to the same place. Val isn't a Biden supporter, he's been critical of Biden, and his post had nothing to do with Biden, so it seems pretty clearly not an attack on him.

Irrelevant. Your appeal has been denied (correctly I might add), and your only option is a final appeal as described in the OSRS. I will tell you outright that there is zero chance of a final appeal reversing this decision, and you'll just be wasting everyone's time with what is clearly a frivolous appeal. So I recommend you take your warning to heart and learn from it. Refreshing your rules knowledge would also be helpful.
