I'm so glad that we're talking about this civilly and no one's freaking out. I <3 this fandom.
As for tags and warnings, I particularly like the way they have things organized over at the Prydonian (a Doctor/Master archive: http://www.prydonian.net/browse.php?type=titles). Fics are tagged with both genre and warnings. It's true that they have mpreg and BDSM/bondage/domination things on the warning list, which I know bothers some people, but when you stop to look at it, the "warnings" are less a list of bad-nasty things, and more a list of things some people want a heads-up about before they choose to read. I mean, "warnings" also includes non-primary pairings, mind control and threesomes, which they certainly aren't condemning. Perhaps organizing might be easier if instead of looking at things from a bad (warnings) vs okay (tags) perspective, which I'm not saying you are, per say, but that's a pretty common way to do it, things were organized in terms of story themes (fluff, darkfic, romance) and things people commonly want a heads-up about (kink, mpreg, death, threesomes) with some things mandatory to mention (like rape/abuse and character death). Maybe it's a matter of connotation and terminology? That's obvs just a suggestion to consider. I think things have always been handled very well in this fandom and I have the utmost faith that things will turn out okay with a minimum of wank however they turn out! (This is officially the longest comment I've ever written. And I've written comment!fic. Haha.)
