Rely on the developer to do it, with the penalty that if they don't and they do get nominated for MoTM they would be disqualified - just like mods have been disqualified in the past for various reasons.

Just add a 'link to previous productid' or something when you create a new mod thread. CHecking to make sure it's one of your mods you're trying to link to would be easy enough.

Have you never heard:
- car of the Year for it's 6th year running
- top salesmen for the last 30 years at the company
- top this or that in a given time span

It's about giving credit for good work and pointing out add-ons. Each thread that creates a poll lists 4-5 mods that you may have seen or not.

EX:
I do not shop around mindlessly for an idea thread by thread. I use search to find things.
If I take a look at the poll for MOTM I may look @ the 4-5 options for the simple fact that it may be something worth looking at.
This drives traffic to those mods that may not get it normally.

Then why not allow a mod to win again and again in the first place? The logic is already in place to only allow a mod to only win once. It's just not carried over into vBulletin version changes. It's not consistent one way or another.
