Not tested but try this.
FIND in register template:
Code:
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[administrators_may_send_email]
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="cb_adminemail"><input type="checkbox" name="options[adminemail]" value="1" id="cb_adminemail" $checkedoff[adminemail] />$vbphrase[receive_email_from_bulletin_board_staff]</label></td>
</tr>
REPLACE with:
Code:
<label for="cb_adminemail"><input type="hidden" name="options[adminemail]" value="1" id="cb_adminemail" $checkedoff[adminemail] /></label>
This should hide the field from your registration form so that it is always checked.
