I'm just curious how is submitting a site other than your own unethical? How can it hurt another website? If you're posting negative comments about your competition, particularly with no basis for the claim, then you're correct, that would be unethical.

What I was aiming at was doing anything to anyones else's site with the intention of doing harm.

But what would happen if someone submitted your site every day to some search engines? "Rule of thumb is once every 30 days". I have also heard war stories as to where someone emailed an editor of DMOZ complaining about their site not being updated or something like that everyday till the site was removed, only to find out it was not their site. Not sure if the last one is really true for it was being talking about on IRC. I point the DMOZ out due to the fact it is a dog eat dog world and it is hard to imagine how low people will go to get what they want. This includes, and I'm more then likely dating myself, email bombing, pub hacking, registering a domainnameSUCKS.com. Well you get my point.
