Remove "add" button from multi-select picklist?

Looking for a solution by which I can make it so that users are only able to remove values from a multi-select picklist but not add new values. 
User-added imageIf removing it entirely isn't possible, is there a creative way to create a validation rule that throws an error when adding a new value to a multi-select picklist?

Any ideas or experience would be appreciated.

Hi Tyler,

You cannot remove Add symbol from multiselect picklist.  Also you cannot create validation rule because validation will fire when you try to save record but on on list of value selections.

You can use record types and hide available values for users.

Hope above information was helpful.

Thanks,
