I think this is the biggest problem with implementing such a system. Setting aside my personal dislike of warnings in general, I have read a few fics in which the author has warned of angst, and when I got to the end I was confused and disappointed, and wondered where the angst actually was because I never came across any. See, I *like* a bit of angst, but what some people class as 'angst' I class as a small, easily resolved argument/misunderstanding etc.
Bascially, anything under a yellow on the BAMR I would not consider angst, and I have to wonder whether I would class some (obv. currently theoretical) yellows as angsty, either.
Still, if anyone ever is worried about the level of angst in my fics, feel free to send me a PM and ask, because the closest you will get to a warning from me is a statement along the lines of 'I don't like warnings, so I'm not giving any'.
