I always tell myself I'm not going to vote for my own movies. And then I always vote for them anyway a few days later.

I think every politician who has ever run in some kind of election has voted for him/herself. If even you yourself don't think you're worthy of running for office, the best idea is to not run at all. In other words, it's okay to vote for yourself and you shouldn't submit it if you don't think that it's no good. Then it's probably better off as a post in the corresponding forum. That's my take on it, anyway.

As a general rule, don't vote for your submissions. However, if you're very confident in your movie and you have good experience on how the movies on this site are judged and how they work (i.e. you're not a newbie), you may vote on your movie as you see fit. However, as Truncated said, if you're going to honestly vote "no" on your own movie, you perhaps shouldn't submit it in the first place. It's probably better off as a post in the corresponding forum. (And yes, I did submit a Spy vs Spy movie and vote "no" immediately thereafter. It's the only case when I've voted on my own movie. And it shouldn't probably have been submitted at all.) The bottom line is, what the votes are for is to sum the audience's reactions to your movie. You may vote "yes" on your movie if you honestly like what you see and enjoy watching your own movie as much as you enjoy watching others' movies. If you otherwise vote "yes", it might be considered cheating.
