I see heliophile also raised the review comm idea. I would see it not so much as splitting the Pros fandom, but diluting the comms further, esp. CI5hq. A divide could develop, however, in that those who like spoilers/warnings might prefer to do all their reccing/reviewing over there.
As I initially understood the idea, it was just to post bare titles of fics with just a few words each, i.e. warning labels. My point above was that it would be quite fun to do that - to read or re-read a fic with a view to 'labelling' it with relevant warnings or other info for the benefit of this comm.
It's for the mod/s of the "spoiler" comm. to decide what categories of information should be posted there (if there is to be any limitation as to categories). If it's quite limited, i.e. the usual warnings, then it wouldn't be a substitute for posts about fics at other comms. On the other hand, if it is more general 'spoilers', where one described something of the plot, then it would virtually become a mini-review.
