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:
“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)
“I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
