I don't think we should have any form of 'here there
be dragons'
notice on the front page. If anything, such a
disclaimer should
appear on a case by case basis before particular
pages, but even that
is a lot more problematic in terms of generating
pointless quarrels
than what I'm proposing.

Well, that works, but only to a certain degree. When I
encounter a page on a book or movie that says it has
spoilers in it, it's still hard for me not to read it
because I'm already there. But I guess a notice on the
main page wouldn't really help that either...
I still think there should be a general disclamers
page, saying, in addition to the mature content
warning, that we don't give medical advice, do give
spoilers, etc. There should be a link to this from the
main page.
