Two things, warnings and trigger warnings aren't the same thing. A list of required warnings is a whole lot better because at least most people will be able to have a clue how to follow it. However that has nothing to do with triggers, it's just common squicks. Even there, it can be a problem when there's some debate over where and how things get warned, for example, is an unwanted hug considered non-con? And then you want to know how closely the mod needs to watch things. And what about all those other squicky things that don't make the list, for example vomiting, or pissing kinks, or animal abuse?

Triggers are more problematic because 1) Triggers aren't nice big broad easy to explain categories. They are specific, individual things that are unique to each person. While you can have trigger warnings, they won't actually prevent people from being triggered. 1) People tend to drag their life stories into the debates. You can't have people feeling safe enough to admit their fantasies at the same time you are yelling at them that their fantasies have made someone vomit and cry for days. So too much of this is death for a kinkmeme.

A kink meme thrives off of people feeling safe enough to prompt and write fics that are embarrassing, gross, unusual and unpopular and otherwise not something that people would feel comfortable writing under their own name in a main com. It cannot be a safe space because the prompts aren't safe. And it's actually safest for the most fragile readers to know and have themselves steeled for a potentially rough ride, than let them think that they can plough ahead without worry because everyone will look after them.
