Typically these ritualistic beatings would happen near sunset, when a haze would form due to the heat of the Australian outback. Hence the origination of the term 'hazing'
In the dark ages, traveling Scotsmen would try and join the various tribes. They would go through a competition to show strength (you see these in highland festivals nowadays).
All these are precursors to the new fad of iniation on the forums here at elcova. They are simply initiation rites of passage new members must go through. This is especially true of (wannabe) dominate males who come into the forums spouting rhetoric and stupidity. They deserve a smackdown unless they show appropriate submission to the clan chiefs.

Yeah, that, and because they always ask stupid questions.
