WP admin > Settings > discussion > Default article settings > Allow people to post comments on new articles > Un-tick

It is not really in any template, and turning it off there will not turn it off for existing pages and posts and listings.
You can also control this on a post by post basis.

I did discover this though:

plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-functions/comments_functions.php

and noticed hooks, etc.. being used. I could probably make the file blank, but prefer the right way using hooks/filters etc

When you change the main WP settings, that does not change the settings for posts and pages already created.
So you need to go to these posts and untick the “allow comments” box.

It shows up in other account areas as well.

IS there NOT a way to use hooks to REMOVE the form altogether?

There is probably a way to edit your templates, but there is really no need for it.

The file you refer to would have nothing to do with pages, comments on pages are WP and theme controlled.
And if you want to hide comments from the GD listings, GD > design > detail > Exclude selected tabs from detail page > reviews

Just not comments. Anyways, I will work to modify the theme so the comments template doesnt show up in random places.

<?php comments_template(); ?>
