'severe censure' is the definition.
'reprobation' can be an answer for 'censure' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'severe' bit.

'copy ai bot that's misspelled name' is the wordplay.
'copy' becomes 'repro' (I've seen this before).
'that's misspelled' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'ai'+'bot'='aibot'
'aibot' is an anagram of 'batio'.
'repro'+'batio'+'n'='REPROBATION'

'getting' is the link.
