Ah, yes, 'warnings'. That's one big basket of trouble! At the end of the day there is nothing that is going to please everyone.
Me, I warn for death, and I know that irks some people (not in NCIS, but in Pros for example) and other what I consider 'major' things - but then my idea of 'major' is someone another person's idea of 'minor'. So 'you can't please all of the people all of the time'. (Mind you I often think 'you can't please any of the people any of the time' is more apt).
I do think that listing pairings (all of them) is essential in fandoms like NCIS. People don't like certain pairings (me for one *g*) and I want to know what I'm getting. Whilst I don't go for any kind of negative feedback, if I were reading a story that had a pairing (or two pairings) and suddenly out of the blue up popped a pairing I didn't like, I'e be put out too - and I might even consider making a comment about it being nice if they'd included it. Note 'consider' not necessarily 'do', as I *hate* conflict, but . . . I can be pushed!
I haven't seen that particular kerfuffle. Are we talking NCIS? because thus far I hadn't seen any real major issue (which is amazing given the number of pairings - thinks about pairing wars in other fandoms).

I wish you luck with your 'talk' with BT!
