Don't feel bad Tom, infractions are common over on the AVS board, especially if you ask the wrong questions.

I got an infraction hit over there too, for criticizing region locking on Oppo's new Blu-ray player in the main Oppo thread after the complaint thread was unceremoniously closed down. The AVS forum set up a thread just for folks to discuss the issue long before the BDP-83 was officially released, but they only kept it open for about a week (shutting it down long before the player was available so that the criticism would scroll away), then no further discussion of the imposed region locking on standard DVD or BD was allowed on the site.

The reason for this is pretty obvious: just look at the banner on the AVS site (Oppo is a featured advertiser).

Don't get me wrong, I like Oppo players (especially the DV-983H) and personally I can't fault the audio section, but you should have a right to ask questions and set the parameters when asking for advice.
