You could use jquery code to hide/show it, I suppose. http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_hide_show.asp

Hi
I figured it out

Search for style 'newthread'

Remove or comment out the following code

<vb:if condition="$show['additional_options']">
<h3 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase additional_options}</h3>
<div class="blockbody formcontrols">

I posted a global form of this earlier on a similar question.
Create plugin at hook: newthread_form_complete

This will be effective on all styles. Additional conditionals should be added to exclude styles or user-groups. Really no need to edit the template, but good work @arrarrgee :) and thanks for sharing.

Thanks tbworld....a noob here...appreciate the guidance :)
