I haven't tested this, but it should work.
If you're using SnowFlat theme, open the file  qa-theme.php  . On line 532 , swap the code from this:

$this->a_selection($a_item);

To this

if (qa_get_logged_in_level() > QA_USER_LEVEL_MODERATOR) {
    $this->a_selection($a_item);
}

Save it and re-upload it to the server.
This will hide the selection button for users whose level is inferior than Moderators.

I am not using the snowflat theme, but I found the line. What condition should I add here?

You should look for where this function is being called. Not the function itself.
It's easier and cleaner if you wrap the hook, instead of wrapping all that code.

If you're using Notepad++ to edit your code, Press Ctrl+F to open Text Finder
Paste the following code:

    $this->a_selection($a_item);

Hit find this parameter button and make the changes

Sorry, there is no such code block in theme files.

There is such a code related to the selected answer, but I do not know if it is relevant.

wrap the code from the first screenshot then

function a_selection($post)
{
    if (qa_get_logged_in_level() > QA_USER_LEVEL_MODERATOR) {
        // THE REST OF YOUR CODE HERE ....
    }
}

This may not be a perfect solution but how about hiding the "Tick" in CSS?

The user cannot see the tick, they cannot click!
