Censure

Censure

<sen-shur>

condemnation;  criticize; disapprove;

To submit a formal complaint in response to an act.

The town decided to censure the building of a new store.

Memory trick:
censure sounds like censor
a censor blocks bad things in movies

At work:
The board decide to censure the CEO for selling his shares.
