Is it possible to add a term as "forbidden" word?

Question

Dear Studio 2014 users, 
 Is there a way to add a term as "forbidden" in Multiterm, and for which I would see it in a different color in the termbase window if the term appears in the active target segment? 
 I am working with a TM that contains out-dated terminologies the client no longer wishes to use. If I could create a blacklist for those terms in Multiterm, I will be rest assured that none of them sneaks into the target segment. 
 Thank you so much for your suggestions.

Hi Chun-yi, 
 Hopefully it will not be too difficult. 
 Here's a short video to show how simple this can be, and how it can really be based on anything you want. Hope it's clear and mirrors the process you are going through. 6 minutes long... because I talk too much!

Yes. Create a field in MT termbase called "forbidden". Set it up as a picklist. Then add the term and activate this item. 
 In Verification settings activate Terminology verification and select this value as forbidden:

Hi Chun-yi, there's an article here that might make it easier to understand.

Hi Chun-yi, 
 Another tip after setting your termbase with a status field would be to change your termbase hitlist settings in Studio. 
 You can choose to show the forbidden terms while translating and you can define the font type and colour of your forbidden terms. 
 Go to termbase hitlist settings from Studio and define the fields to be shown in below window.
