Arcade section entries not off-limits after all?

I'm seeing this kind of behavior, just when things started to normalize in moderation/submissions (except for someone who clearly has yet to find the "replace image" option):

 

@Jason Carr I thought all Arcade games should be "locked" in the "Arcade" Platform? We have sub-platforms for specific Arcade systems (ie. Sega Model 3) and when some games are missing from those sub-platforms, we normally add a new entry directly to that sub-platform (even if there's one similar in the "main" Arcade section). But this is cutting corners short, isn't it?

I think we should allow moving games only if they are in the wrong platform, right?

That's correct that we shouldn't be moving any games out of the Arcade platform, because technically they're all arcade. We do need to clean up that situation in the games database. The only arcade games that are "locked" are the games that are in the known MAME set.
