Well, after SpanishDict got sued for what happened to the last guy who tried to vote for himself, they disabled that feature.
Oh, how I kid.
The whole purpose of voting is to give the proper credit that good questions and answers deserve. Why would you want to do that for yourself?
The purpose of voting isn't to gain reputation for yourself. It is an indicator of intriguing questions and logical answers.
Posts with a purpose and with content that can help many deserve to be voted up. Answers that cause one to have a lightbulb moment deserve votes.
The honest truth....
They made the rule because of me.
You see, when people vote for themselves,
I find such acts to be as base and baseless as ballot-stuffing.
And generally when I observe this sort of baffoonery,
It makes me feel a little, well,
Churlish, cheated and chafed;
Betrayed, belittled and besmirched;
Angry, agitated and aggressive....
...sometimes a little too aggressive:
I'm tempted to tell you the truth, that temperance and tolerance are tenets that I tend to try to tender, but truthfully, the temperature of my temperament tends to tell a totally twisted tale of temper untended (and often unattended) so that the tediously traumatizing technique of tallying totals—especially when those transmissions transparently teem with intolerably tolerable transgressions tendered by teams of tolerably intolerant transgressors—transposes the thoughts; to wit, it is too trying, troubling and transforming to the transitive intellect of the typically timorously tinted traveler of syntax to travail, and though I digress (in spades, or rather, in triplicate), this takes us to our time tested, tried and true, topically tested "therefore..."
Therefore...
— Thou shalt not vote for thyself! —
"intolerably tolerable?" and "tolerably intolerant?"... truly two tortuous terms taunting tenuous temerity to interrogate! Sorry no match for the Master! jeje
In truth, a tastelessly transpicuous and truculent tirade—i.e., mere tenuous trumpery—transparently transmitted to tempt, try or trap, or terminally tax the triumphantly tacky troublemaker, or to be intolerably technical, "trouble-taker," into traversing the tedious task of transmogrifying the troop of tasteless tripe that too turbulently tumbled, teemed and trickled, untrussed and untangled, from this trumped up and tangled type.
Sorry—I couldn't resist
When you are a beginner at Spanish or English how would you know/are you going to possibly know if the answer you give or even recei e answer is always a correct/accurate one? You don't know which is why you need to receive the honest and fair evaluation of other people more experienced and knowledgeable than yourself, such as native speakers who make up/comprise part of the SpanishDict community.
If you thought of voting for someone else's response would you still vote for them if they gave an inaccurate answer? Or if they wrote a load of rubbish?
If people voted for themselves would some people vote themself up for bad answers or incorrect answers?
Exactly ! This is why you cannot vote for yourself because new people learning the language would get a distorted idea of well written Spanish/English.Voting for yourself would open the system up to abuse.
The purpose of the voting system is not simply to amass personal points but to show those learning Spanish and/Or English examples of correct Spanish /English
I hope this helps 
The gesture of clicking to vote for yourself should be implemented as the standard website function to delete your account. It would be an appropriate reward for those seeking the "easy road"...
