Is there a way to disable users from being able to use the Status feature in groups?

I only ask as the Status and Discussion features seem redundant together and confusing to members. I know you can disable the Group Discussion feature BUT... I want to use the Recent Discussions module throughout my site and since you cannot use the module to show Group Status updates the only option would be to disable the Status feature to force users to use the Discussion feature instead so each conversation in a group would show properly in the Discussion and Statistics module...

I like keeping the activities on the group page but just want to disable the Status input box...

In fact after thinking about it and writing it out and looking at it again... I would suggest replacing the Status Input with the Discussion feature within the input box....

However I do need an immediate fix and would like to know if there is something in the code I could comment out to stop people from using the Status feature and force them to "Start a New Discussion"...

Thanks for Your Help!

    Hi
    Sorry this request is not possible via options, its custom work task and need re structure the complete layout to get it support as this is core feature to show the groups with status box its not possible to apply this change by dev team.
    You can customize the code in /components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/groups/
    this folder user to contain the layout file for group page

      Thank you. I was able to accomplish this by going to /components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/LAYOUTS/groups/ and edited single.php on line 967 I removed {$status->render();}
