Lifetime Membership

When admin enters new member from backend/administrator, None / Lifetime Subscription is automatically checked and shown. We DO NOT want that option to be automatically selected. We want nothing auto selected to force us to choose. Also why does it say "None"? I created a "Lifetime" plan for admin assignment only that is free for certain past officers.

You can not remove that internal plan.

OK, then how can we prevent it from being the default? There has to be a way.

You can't for backend. For frontend that subscription doesn't exist unless free registrations without a subscription is enabled, but it's just automatically applied if no plan is selected. For frontend you'd just set a plan as default. For backend just remember to set their plan when you create the user.
