Keyword being post. Meaning, if A posts, and then B posts, A cannot delete his post anymore. A visual example:
S (topic starter) <-- can't delete/edit.
A <-- can't delete/edit.
B <-- last poster, can delete/edit his/her post only.
Obviously, this would be optional for those who want it this way.

Aaahhh, very clever. I like this very much.
Would this loop be indefinite, for example if C posted, would B be unable to delete/edit his or her post, so on and so forth, or would here be an option to stop this loop after x amount of replies?

I have that set for 5 days. I really try my best not to play the "board nazi" role. I always stress to my members to think thrice before posting, but this particular situation is getting out of hand in my forum.

I was thinking, just do it based on the last post period. When would you want otherwise?

That makes sense, doesn't sound too restrictive, but will there be any latitude for topic starters and posters that made a topic/posts in error?

Ah, so you're saying, "within the last x posts"? That just seems too complicated to check in the code... I'm not sure.
Really, nothing will replace a bit of moderation. If you want this setting on, you're going to get people who want their topics deleted, and you'll have to do it for them. There's no perfect way around that, I think.

well I like your model, this is the only change I'd make to it:
S (topic starter) <-- can delete/edit until 1st reply, after that can't delete/edit
A <-- can't delete/edit.
B <-- last poster, can delete/edit his/her post only.
Would that be difficult?
