It's a great idea (from the point of view of virality) but it seems like it would be poisonous to the atmosphere in most teams. Would I want to stay back late to help someone who'd ranked me lower than my coworkers? I'd love to say yes, but probably not.

For what it's worth, it's nigh impossible to see who voted on you. And even if you're losing duels-- it's not necessarily a reflection on you, but rather a reflection on you vs. a particular coworker. In other words, there'd be no shame in losing a duel to someone awesome, right?
However, if you find that you're losing duels against people who you think poorly of consistently, or losing ALL of your duels, that might create ugly feelings I guess!

Ah, it is problematic to say the frickin' least...

Might be time for a little introspection, I would think.

#16Adam (I have since learned) had seen the limits and the LinkedIn folks actually raised them for us before we launched... But I don't think ANY of us thought that we'd hit the higher limit. But don't judge us too harshly! :-) Remember, this started as a side-project... And certainly don't judge LinkedIn. Other than not being instantly responsive on a Friday afternoon (which I think wouldn't be a fair expectation), the…
You are the creator of this "cubeduel" thing?!??
Wow... hadn't seen it, glad it stopped here or least hoping it did...
I really couldn't imagine a more pernicious effort to poison already strained interpersonal relations in America if I tried.
I don't think your project is illegal but it is clearly, morally, reprehensible. You should be ashamed of yourself. What you are doing is a "bad thing" - on a pretty high scale of "bad thing".
A while back yummyfajitas asked how Wikileaks would be judged if someone died because of their revelations. Can I ask you the same question? What would you do if one coworker initiated violence against another because of your rating site? What?
Not only do I want this to fail but I think it should rebound on your other projects ... hard. I don't quote The-Jesus much here but here, "Judge not, that ye be not judged" comes very much to my mind.
Seriously, this is so bad that you need to take it down NOW and apologize.

#17So this is the norm now?
From the FAQ:
Can I delete my cubeduel page?
You can "deactivate" your account and it will stop showing up on cubeduel. Login, click on Your Rank, then click on Account Settings, then Deactivate Account.

Yeah,
Providing "opt-out libel" when you're about to IPO is a great idea!

you provided more condemnation than analysis. In my reading of the Book, He reached out to people as an educator and provided guidance about a path that offers help to people that followed other ways. Do you see the irony in your quote?

Sorry, the analysis seemed rather clear. Offering people a chance to fight arena-style fights against their fellows is rather unscrupulous to say the least. Do you defend doing this?
Taking down the site and apologizing seems like a pretty clear guidance to ending the problem. What else would you suggest?
Does your reading of the bible or religious texts support sites like 'cubeduel'?
The point is also don't judge unless you want to expose yourself to judgment. I don't mind being judged for condemning this 'cubeduel'. Who wants to judged for supporting it?
One has an obligation to speak out against despicable acts. Do you think this is something other than that?
