Minor point to OP - people who engage in bullying (ie bullies) always have other aspects to them.
IE even Nelson Muntz is more than -just- a bully, therefore I wouldn't call him "nothing but a bully" but rather "also a bully".
In the case of cogs even though he'll be pretty brutal with me sometimes sometimes about art 'quality' (or whether to classify tanner 4 v tanner 5) regarding a lot of subjective borderline issues, even if that occasionally makes me feel bullied I still wouldn't characterize it anywhere near his primary attribute given so much more time is put into uploading artwork like fellow power-users.

leaving inflammatory comments on submissions and mishandling the artist gallery of art submissions i had provided.
Inflammatory is subjective so it's better to provide direct quotes and link them.
I think a lot of the time this can come from him trying to communicate ideas of what is or isn't "quality" and those of us who are inclusionists who want to get as much stuff we like as possible will occasionally prod these boundaries just to see how tolerant the mods are feeling of certain cartoonish drawing styles.
Tried bringing this to the attention of the owner to no avail given this mod had continued the abuse, the last action being deleting a vast ammount of art submissions at the RDK gallery
As long as they're soft-deletes and not hard-deletes you can still view removed content via https://booru.allthefallen.moe/posts?tags=rdk+status%3Adeleted so I think the main thing to take comfort in is our efforts to be art historians are not being interfered with, he's just pruning the aesthetics of what gets displayed prominently. It's not anywhere near the assholery of Paheal mods who nuke tags and make the art forever-gone, by comparison.
after banning my account for over a month.
Not sure what you mean about 'over' a month, this is easy to check at https://booru.allthefallen.moe/user_feedbacks?search%5Buser_id%5D=44281
30 August 2022 says a 1-week ban in response to something at https://booru.allthefallen.moe/posts/420615 which I can't view (I think nuked) but based on description appears to be a combo of too-old plus low-qual.
28 November 2022 says 1-month ban in response to something unspecified but was described as "content we deleted". Kinda curious if it was the same August piece or something else.
30 December 2022 says "forever" and I don't see any uploads in December (unless they got hard-deleted?) so it gives the impression this was due to commentary rather than uploads. Could you clarify this Cogs?
Such actions are pretty petty and decided to speak out because i wont be silent about it any longer. I believe his abusive behavior will affect this site and everyone on it in a negative way if he is allowed to continue unchecked so i hope something can be done about it soon.
TBH the issue of quality-policing can sometimes go overboard, and there are some of your deleted uploads I'd like to see restored, but other stuff like https://booru.allthefallen.moe/posts/435279 is obviously off-topic and not in a "borderline loli" kind of way.
Probably a good first step to reconciling would be to at least apologize for that, though NTT won't be able to do so with a permaban so I'm wondering if perhaps that could be shortened to a year?
I notice however there is some suspicious activity by an account which gives the impression of it being a sockpuppet or meatpuppet.

If this is you, spamming the pending log probably isn't going to do you any favors in terms of looking good to the userbase.
Although I actually like most of the art you appealed, you also filed an appeal for https://booru.allthefallen.moe/posts/435279 which is clearly trolling
