Out of curiosity, do you automatically vote for your own answer or do you vote for what you believe is best?

Question

I'll admit I often vote for myself for best answer, but not if I honestly think that someone else had a better answer.

Answer 1

When there are many posted of the same answers, of course people will vote for there own.

If there are very few , and there is one answer that fits the question , I vote for that person and I still get the 1 point for voting.

Answer 2

I vote for mine, because it is the best answer.

Answer 3

Never Voted. I always say whats on my mind. Some people like what I have to say, so me people dont.

Answer 4

first day of new account --- never voted -- so never voted for self --- not really concerned with best answer %  --- right now I'm at 0% best answers

Answer 5

LOL!  Talk about a duh moment.  It never even occurred to me to vote for myself.  Simply assumed you couldn't -- and I likely still won't bother.

Answer 6

I always vote for someone else, and never vote for my own. But, I didn't know I could vote for myself. Maybe this is why some people have a ton of best answers.

Answer 7

I surf the net for beastiality p**n.

Answer 8

i didnt know you can vote for yourself

Answer 9

I vote for what I believe is the best answer.  I've only voted for my own once.

Answer 10

I'll vote for someone else if they truly have a good answer but I'll admit that if there's like 30 or 40 answers then I might just pick the frst good answer and not read all 30 or 40.

Answer 11

I vote for the best answer because mine may not be the one.

Answer 12

Like Johnny, I did not know you could do this.....don't really spend as much time as some others do......just when I am "tweening" at work.....sometimes at home but not enough to actually vote for myself.....thanks for the tip..will try it!!......what does the winner get anyways???

Answer 13

idk

Answer 14

I automatically vote for my own answer because it is always the best one :P  :))  haha

Answer 15

i usually vote for my self i will admit. unless i say something dumb and theres a really good answer that i agree with i will vote for it

Answer 16

!! now you tell me i didnt know you could vote for your own. But I have wondered why mine is chosen sometime i have had best for agreeing with someone i even posed a question about it Best was they like my sence of humor. but i got a best for telling someone what time it was before truthfully i vote for yours(most of the time)untill we start playing movie critic HA HA A lot of my ans are just a funny come back to a good ans but i wouldnt vote for my own We aint gonna win nuttin Think I will star this one

Answer 17

I tend to vote for my own.  (I probably will if this goes into voting).  It's a lot more justifiable when no one else is voting or if I'm the only rational answer.  I'll vote for someone else if they're a cut above, or just got lucky and saw the question before I did.

Answer 18

I usually avoid voting for myself, but there are times when my answer is truely the best, so of course I'd vote for myself then.

Answer 19

I do exactly the same as you.  One thing I have learned from Yahoo Answers is that other people sometimes know more or see things more clearly than I do.  If I was wrong then in all conscience I don't vote for my answer.

Answer 20

I never vote. Just answer and move on.

Answer 21

I usually vote for the answer I like the best. I mean, who really gets enough best answers to be that much help to your rating anyway?
