I don't read anything labelled 'torture' either, as a rule. It's not my bag. Although quite often, stories with torture warn for 'angst' and 'violence' so I get surprise eviscerations or whatever, instead of the mission-gone-bad I was envisioning.

That particular atory I mentioned is so infamous that I read a line or two of the 'highlights' in a review rather than in the story proper (thank goodness). I think the review did warn (although I followed a link to a point part way through, so wasn't really adequately warned), but I don't think the story warned appropriately -- that was part of the critique. Even the quotes made my eyes cross, however, so I clicked away before finishing the review.

In my experience, it's the writers who don't really understand what they've written who get you, because they don't know what to warn for. I'm actually starting to suspect that includes the show's writer, RTD, so perhaps in this fandom it should be considered canon. It would explain a lot.
