How can we set a scale to be the default scale for all forums on the site? We currently are using 1.9.4 on Linux.

in the /usr/moodle/mod/forum/mod_form.php the line
$mform->addElement('modgrade', 'scale', get_string('grade'), false);

sets the drop down to the listed scales I have created a scale called ForumScale
And was wondering how to set the code or add code to make the new scale, the only scale listed from the drop down or just bypass that and hard code the new scale in as the default one used?

Thank you for your help in advance!!!!!
