So you think the only two options are no DNWs at all and long lists of DNWs? Ok!

I mean, in terms of functionality, yes, I don't think exchanges allowing DNWs but only some (or only a certain number) are really a good idea. Limiting the number will inevitably lead to broader DNWs which makes writing harder instead of easier (like, I love smut, but if I don't have enough DNWs to DNW kinks I hate, I will DNW smut altogether, which takes an entire genre away from my writer). And saying "you're only allowed to DNW things from this list: ...." is unfairly biased towards people who have common DNWs over people who might have a few, but uncommon DNWs - someone who DNWs noncon, MCD, violence and AUs will have a great time in this exchange, whereas someone who's fine with all archive warnings but DNWs spiders and clowns is not going to risk signing up.

So, yeah, you'd either have to go for the chaos model and say "no DNWs at all" (not my idea of a gift exchange but maybe a fun type of event) or allow whatever DNWs people have to make their exchange experience good.
