I agree with Geoff and Michael Green.  I have appraised 17 recording studios, have performed and recorded on many Los Angeles main stages as an amateur (from UCLA Royce Hall. Ford Ampitheater to Disney Hall) (as opposed to my friends like Kevin Grey who is a true professional)  and have a large recorded music collection from ancient (1898 to the present) recordings.  Soundstaging is an essential element of recording.  It is known by the engineers by the venue if a good recording is to be extracted/recorded.   

I've gone so far as incorporate the SR Atmosphere XL4 to alter soundstaging to my liking post-recording and attempting to replicate the soundstage on which the recordings was created (or just sounds best to me).  I do not know exactly how SR achieves it's results but the tool(s) SR provides are very welcome.

I too think it's a terrible idea.  If implemented, anything another person says that the OP doesn't like can delete their post.   I thought we are in a Democracy?

Think it through though. The same functionality and more would be available. Democracy, yes. To your point, technically the same thing could happen now. The OP would simply need to make a personal request (not simply the use the report link) to AG support. It just takes a bit longer that way. Additionally and even more important and compelling, if the OPs intentions were/are genuine then he/she wouldn’t do as you suggest, right? Otherwise, other posters within the thread might decide there is unnecessary and biased censorship by the OP, and also willingly elect not to post in the thread. The concept keeps everyone in check.

Furthermore, if a "clique" forms (which will likely happen) in certain threads, those on the opposing side of the clique could start their own thread, and refer to posts being made by members in the other thread. Again, keeping everyone in check.

Theoretically, if all members believe the function isn’t a good idea, it wouldn't get any usage. There is no requirement or obligation for the OP to use it. Therefore, the current functionality remains identical to the way it is now. Consider the usefulness of the feature/function and what it is intended to do.

I'm not saying that soundstaging isn't important, only that the specifics of things like moderate variations in stage height aren't.  Does it sound like 15' or 20' ceilings?  If one stereo component makes it sound like 25' while another makes it sound like 20', does it really matter?  As long as you've got a plausible sounding soundstage that isn't interfering with the experience it doesn't.  Hardly anybody is likely to know what the real height was anyway.
