Is it possible to turn off the Conversation option

We are likely not using the Conversation style on our community and just questions. I notice if a user does not have access to any category with conversations, they still have the option to select Conversation when posting even though there are no categories in the drop down. Is there any way to fix that or just turn off the option for the whole community? Thanks!

Here’s my custom CSS for hiding ideas:
 

/*start-- HIDE Idea option */
.qa-radio-button-topic-type-idea {
display:none;
}
/*end-- hide idea option */

/*hide-- Idea option from Create Post tooltip*/
.qa-topic-type .tooltip__content p:nth-of-type(3),
.qa-topic-type .tooltip__content label:nth-of-type(3){
    display: none;
  }
/*end-- hide*/

You can hide it with custom CSS, but there’s no way to turn it off. Hiding it effectively does that though. 

I’ve had Ideas hidden for almost 2 years now. 

What I’m not sure about, however, is what will happen when you hide it, since conversations are in the middle. Most likely scenario is that you will have an empty space (since it’ll just be hidden, not actually gone). I doubt the Ideas option slides over.
