Con - adds a little extra bother to the act of posting a story (you have to post the story and the spoilers/warnings separately No you wouldn't do this - you'd just copy and paste the header format from the user page (as you do now), and the link would be a general one to the spoiler comm, and would automatically appear on all headers. You then just look down the tag list for the title and click on that. So the whole thing would involve clicking on just two links, rather than having to learn how to do html coding etc. So actually less bother to posting a story!
ETA - argh, you asked about whether it would become a review comm or not - to be honest I'd hope not, cos that's what CI5hq is. If Prosficspoilers became a review comm itself, then it would just split the Pros community into two, and duplicate discussions. There's already been a split like that in Pros lj generally, and I think it's a shame.
As to whether you'd have categories of warnings - that'd be up to the comm members to decide. Quite honestly it's one of the reasons I hate dealing with this whole spoiler/warning issue in the first place - it's putting the onus of pleasing individual tastes on the community rather than the individual, and it's such an individual thing that getting too specific about it makes more work for people and takes away from other things a comm/mod/writer/artist etc could be doing in the first place! I'd rather be writing stories than spending time worrying how to tag them etc - so I'll leave that up to Prosficspoiler comm members to work out, I'm not even going to try to guess for them! *g*
