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. -LDan
