As it stands, none of the solutions anyone has come up with manage to pull that off and the issue at hand (that some coders would prefer if our copyright notice wasn't on their pages) isn't, in my mind, one that outweighs the considerations of the end users/customers.

Bullsh*t, even I (I'm not advanced coder) would be able to make sure where my mods code is appearing and where it's not appearing on vb pages very quickly. But you have said you have 6 quality coders there so why suddenly "cost us significant resources in man-hours".
It's funny though to read how you defeat your business and say. By the way, are you a coder/web developer yourself or you are only employing coders and web developers?
