I can flat out tell you that asking for a quality application and solid character knowledge is not hazing. Hazing is an activity that makes a potential applicant feel threatened, endangered, or pressured into doing something they do not want to do. Asking someone to meet a certain standard of quality is not hazing by any standards. Hazing is making someone eat their own vomit, eat cat food, swim across a lake while drunk, imbibe large amounts of alcohol, or any number of other things that are illegal.

Hazing is not asking someone to write a decent application for an online game, and it's not a word anyone should be throwing around casually.
