Your appeal:

I didn’t know the true meaning of that word. I just googled, how are poles colloquially named in USA, and that’s what showed up. It didn’t raise any suspicion because it looks like the anglicized Polish word for Pole, which is polak, so it made sense for me, and I thought it is just anglicized polak.
I didn’t mean to use a slur or insult anyone. I will change nickname IC name to Casper ‘Pole’ Kamm.

Denied. While contextually I believe you didn’t mean any harm by using this as your nickname, we must realize it’s still a slur, and our policy towards slurs is set in stone.
