My appeal was rejected?!

Argh!

I was shadowbanned back in July when I was falsely flagged as a spammer (linking to romance.io on a sub that hadn’t enabled the romance.io bot). I spent about a month appealing daily and even had a mod on another sub advocate for me. After that, I would occasionally appeal. I tried again two days ago, pointing out my contributions to Reddit since the ban, and Reddit said the ban will stay. Is there an alternative way to appeal other than asking my mod friends to try?
