The general disagreement is mainly caused by the global copyright managment mod you recently released. And would be the most difficult to manage.

Other mods, individually it's simple to restrict where the copyright is seen. Forgive any mistakes below..

For example

The slider would on on the forumhome and I believe the CMS page.
Post thanks on showthread and showpost (plus any other places it's used)
Navtabs - yes.. everywhere that navtabs can be displayed.

*nods* so the tricky thing here becomes what if someone using the Copyright Management mod is using a global mod that shows up everywhere, for instance.

Basically the amount of micromanagement that would take across our entire spectrum of mods, all of the scripts that would have to be made, everything that would have to be either included or excluded...

However it pans out, it's going to be a large amount of work somewhere, and it's not work that's going to benefit any of our users/customers in any way, or us. It's hard to justify that kind of outlay, really.

If there was a simple easy solution I'd jump all over it, but so much extra work and micromanagement for the sake of a few coders who would rather our copyright not appear on their pages isn't a burden I could really justify the business taken on.

It sucks to have to be "that guy" who puts the interests of the company & employees and our users & customers ahead of those of other coders but every now and it's something that has to be done, however nice it would be if there was an alternative
