Through the /tp command, one can create teleporters for public use on a server. Can be applied to a range of scenarios.
 * Teleportation/Transport

Through @r and /give, one can create a lottery (self-explanatory) Keep in mind that in the most recent snapshot/1.4 that /give will directly put items into one's inventory, instead of throwing them on the ground in front of the character.
 * Lottery

By using /tp a whole bunch, you can force a player to stay at a certain place. If you do this it would be advisable to either turn off commands in your chat settings or do /gamerule commandBlockOutput false.
 * Jails

By inputing the parameter [m=1], only players in creative will be affected by the command block. Hopefully only ops are in creative on your server.
 * Admin Only

By using /me in a command block one can create announcements that could play even when the admin/owner wasn't there.
 * Announcements

By using /clear, you can scan people for items. If you only want to remove certain items, use /clear @p(or playername) itemid.
 * Security Scan
