How exactly do I get my warning level reduced? After all, my warning level is currently at 20%.

You don't, but if you don't agree with it you can always take it up with an admin. Now having said that thread locked.

and if you read and obey the rules you will avoid further penalty.

Which you are close to receiving if you do not follow the Terms of Service

Besides appealing do know the following too. One the points decay over time so it won't be long before you have no warning. Secondly, good behavior is awarded and sometimes that means the penalty may get decreased when one of us on staff lowers your penalty level.
