Grab the bucket from the room and venture forth into the unknown.
Ehhh, this idea is pretty awful. A for effort though.

Do you guys actually think the winner will be made a mod?
Absolutely. This is serious business.

We can't disqualify Nat for the same reason he actually got nominated in the first place.
Y'know, that's a fair point. I even nominated him, so I guess I have to give him a pass.

No offense but what stops Sora from saying whoever he wants to win this popularity contest wins. Not that I particularly care about the result but I mean this is literally the worst regulated election in history. The only thing we can really be sure of is that nominations and that is because they were public. Still I voted.
Who even gives a fuck?
Seriously though, it's easy to show the results via screenshot if he really feels like it.

Oh, is that so? Alright, I thought they were directly under Lannister, but that makes sense too.
As others have said in various ways, violence in some capacity is necessary to deal with bullies and abusive people in general. Non-violent methods simply enable or encourage the predatory habits of those kinds of people, so they're not a viable solution. As barbaric as it may sound, the question should not be "is violence an acceptable answer to violence?" it should be "how much violence is an acceptable answer to this instance of violence?" It all comes down to a matter of proportionality and severity, and it varies a lot from case to case.
A kid roughly shoved another kid? A firm swat to the head will probably suffice.
A kid beat the crap out of another kid? I don't care what modern coddling parenting nonsense says, that deserves some ass whooping with a belt.
An adult hit another adult? Return it to the attacker with interest and call it good, they're old enough to know better. Exceptions to this include if they injured the person (ie more than just pain and bruises), or they're attacking a defenseless person, or it's a repeated thing where they didn't learn from past times getting punched for hitting someone else; in any of those cases you can slap their shit and also call the cops because they deserve to get their shit slapped legally as well as physically at that point.
An adult physically abused a child? This is one of those situations where if you just trade violence for violence and leave them be afterward, odds are very good they'll later go and vent their ire on the same target and that's no good. Luckily it turns out that whooping ass isn't the only kind of violence, and that's where jail comes in. Throw them into jail for a few years to cool down, slap a felony child abuse charge on their record, and bam, you've just beat the shit out of their entire life without needing to resort to traditional physical violence (though there's the fun bonus that child abusers and molesters tend to get their asses kicked regularly in jail).
All of those should be coupled with some of those non-violent methods, by the way. All that counseling and explaining why it was wrong and how they should feel bad and so forth should come during and/or after the administration of violence. Alone that stuff does little to nothing, but coupled with a fresh reminder of the direct penalties of further transgressions it might actually work. Violence to answer violence is not pretty and it's not a perfect system, but it's a hell of a lot better than the non-violent routes.

It's a thing that some RP groups think up because they're silly and it amuses them. There's no official rhyme or reason to the them, no standard way to join one. It's essentially a way for people to broadcast "hey look at all these friends I have" by listing their friends as their 'family' in their signature.
If you want to join one, the simplest way to do so is probably to find one that exists and become friends with some/all of the members of the group. That or you could do it the other way around, make friends through roleplaying and having fun and create your own silly little forum family with them. Either way it just comes down to making friends, so go do that.

Alright, edited my sheet into the post I reserved for that purpose.
It might read a bit wonky because I wrote most of it while very tired, but I'll fix that up if necessary after sleep. I could also blame the obnoxious length of my character's history on sleep deprived writing, but that would not strictly speaking be true.

It's too bad the choices were only bigger houses, because House Lydden's banner is a badger and if you'd picked them you would've been one of my allies.
