Moderators do not appoint DT2 members - they are chosen by DT1, which are randomly selected every month from Bitcointalk members, that meet several criteria.

Since trust ratings are not moderated ^[19], even if forum staff might consider that there are not enough proofs for your ban, Bitcointalk users may have a private opinion about how much you can be trusted and leave feedback accordingly.

Other users may review your complaint about negative feedback and comment here. If someone from them stands up for you and provides strong arguments in your favor, then icopress can change his mind and delete his negative feedback, because apparently he is reading this topic and is aware of your claim.
