Just a few I thought I'd throw out there, considering a few of the main problems that are reoccurring on the site time and time again. I think these could turn out really good IMO. Anyone else feel free to add on, no pun intended lol :)
all were taken from the actual vB Forums (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/index.phphttp://).

It seems to be that no one these days have ever stepped foot so-to-speak on a forum, and no one understand hows to embed a video. This mod automatically does that for the user, saving the hassle of asking people and wasting time.
Close Threads With Low Reputation

This could be the most helpful mod if the members use it to it's full capacity. Basically the first mod you install will show on which posts the member got positive or negative rep. Now that's not the important part, but it's necessary to install the other mod. The other mod will allow the members to close the thread automatically if the user gets enough neg rep for making the thread. This could be extremely helpful for stopping spam threads or problem-causing threads. The only problem I can see happening is members voting to close threads simply because they don't like a member or because they don't like what the thread's about. A way around this could possibly be to set the rep to close at around 5. Just a thought, I could sound really dumb.
SIMILAR THREAD MOD!

ahhhh thank the lord. [don't take offense to that haha]. Okay, I can't say I've ever tested this out on a forum, but simply by reading the description maybe this could put an end to all of our search bar woes? When you go to post a new thread, it automatically uses the title a search query and will show all threads with similar names. Now you can disregard the search, or you could PAY ATTENTION and see if the thread's already been made.
