Is it possible for an Organizer to permanently mute all GoToMeeting attendees. Meaning, the attendees can not mute or un-mute their selves. If I mute an Attendee then he/she can un-mute his microphone during the session any time which is kind of annoying. I want all attendees to join as listen only mode, how ever attendees could ask questions via text chat box. How to do it?

If you mean permanently mute them, yes. GoToMeeting is designed as a collaboration tool, attendees are invited to join by the organizer. If you are hosting events that are open to anyone and you are concerned that they cannot be trusted to remain muted, I would recommend using GoToWebinar instead.
GoToWebinar is designed more for presentations, where attendees are muted by default and must be unmuted by the organizer before they can speak.
