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:
“I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
