Exclude forums from new posts, admin not user side

[ProAzn]

I'm aware of this hack "3.5.4 Exclude forums from get new posts" and have it downloaded. BUT how do you exclude a forum from the admin side so users don't have a choice to exclude it or not exclude it. That the forum is excluded from new posts permanently unless otherwise included by admin only not user?

Been pulling my hair out to find this. Did it before but having a brainfart right now. lol. I'm aware of the exclude code in editing the file method but there must be an easier way ..

Anyone?
