Responsible Escort reviewing understand the consequences

I did my usual catch up on the message boards at the weekend. I came across a post that disturbed me, and raised a number of issues for me.
A client had left a review on an Escort agency website, indicating that he had slapped an escort. Fortunately, the review has been removed.
I have mixed feelings about reviews as I have pointed out here.
The post that I read at the weekend, demonstrates the harmful aspects of Escort reviews.
It is one thing, when a reviewer gives false information in reviews, and then an escort has difficulty convincing future clients that the information is false.
I think it is dangerous when a reviewer, indicates that he used force during a booking, and makes it clear that the escort protested, and stated that she would not see him again.
"She was not keen on X, but I blasted X ....., and made her cough and splutter."
These types of reviews can attract certain types of clients, and put some escorts lives in danger.
I catch up on the boards when I can, and do not read them daily. However, I think it is important to read the boards,for my own security, to identify clients I do not want to see. I understand that some clients will not disclose their handles, when they book an escort. However, there are some that do.
What I found reassuring from the post, was that there were a number of members who were outraged by that review. There are clients who will question the accuracy of these types of reviews, and there are also clients who will think it is okay to get the escort to do, what they have read. There are also a number of misogynists out there, who thrive on this sort of material.
I think that reviewers need to understand the consequences of what they write ,in escort reviews.
Sometimes, the Review boards, and Escort only boards, can help escorts avoid these types of clients. I feel it is irresponsible when Escort agencies, and Escort review boards publish these types of reviews.
In this case they were removed.
Do you think Reviewers have a responsibility?
Do you think that Review boards need to censor the types of reviews that are published?
Gillette has an interesting post on Boundaries,Choice and Responsibility.
