Criticism
Television Without Pity has long been the target of criticism. The site moderators have been accused of arbitrarily and unprofessionally applying the discussion forum rules and jumping too quickly to edit posts, and sanction and ban members who do not adhere to the many rules for posting on the site. Moderators have also been criticised for engaging in apparently retaliatory behavior, sanctioning or banning members who offer negative feedback or question the moderators' actions. Some of this criticism has claimed that the problematic moderating has increased since the site was acquired by Bravo in 2008, whereas others cite the decline in writing ability of the top moderators / editors. Critics have also charged that the site lost its "edge" after the Bravo acquisition.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
