I should clarify that all this does is make it so that the edit / delete buttons on a Root Admin's posts do not appear for anyone other than fellow Root Admins. It does not take away the abilities, just the links to them.

Exactly http://www.site.com/[dir]/index.php?act=post&do=edit_post&f=<NUM FORUM>&t=<TOPIC NUMBER>&p=<NUM POST>&st=0 is the PoC...

the only thing you do with this is "hide" the option, but it is still there...

another way to REALLY get this?

Calypso posted this on invisionize, but it would still show the buttons. Combined with mine, it should do exactly what you want:

Open: sources/classes/class_post_edit.php

Find:

		//-----------------------------------------
		// Load the old post
		//-----------------------------------------
		
		$this->ipsclass->DB->simple_construct( array( 'select' => '*', 'from' => 'posts', 'where' => "pid=".intval($this->ipsclass->input['p']) ) );
		$this->ipsclass->DB->simple_exec();
		
		$this->orig_post = $this->ipsclass->DB->fetch_row();
		
		if (! $this->orig_post['pid'])
		{
			$this->ipsclass->Error( array( LEVEL => 1, MSG => 'missing_files') );
		}

Add Below:

		if ( $this->ipsclass->member['mgroup'] != 4 )
		{

		$data = $this->ipsclass->DB->build_and_exec_query( array( 'select' => 'mgroup',
															   'from'   => 'members',
															   'where'  => 'id='.$this->orig_post['author_id'],
													  )		 );

		if ( $data['mgroup'] == 4 )
		{
			$this->ipsclass->Error( array( LEVEL => 1, MSG => 'root_admin') );
		}

		}
