For your service this seems unavoidable, so I’d say if you’re going to do it like this you should pre-moderate all your content and don’t allow anything to go up that is obviously (potentially) libellous.

But as I say, for your service which is obviously potentially highly flammable, I’d say you should definitely pre-moderate and do it with extreme caution.  Generally speaking reviews on individuals is something I wouldn’t really advise people to offer.
