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)
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
