---- Blocking a forum section of site to avoid potential spam label?

I keep seeing google mention user generated spam and tying that in to forums, guestbook pages, or user profiles. We have a forum section on a site, the site is not a forum, just a section. There is no spam, nothing is posted without approval. However I can't help but worry that there may be some tipping point that could be crossed just by having a forum on a site.

Thinking of no-indexing the forum section just to hopefully avoid triggering a flag, if there even is one.
