I was able to accidentally add a 1895 release date to an Amstrad CPC game; thankfully an approver caught it.

Dates should be limited to the release year of a certain platform. I'm pretty sure this was the case on the old site.

Agreed. Helps retain data integrity.

On a similar note, it is possible to add releases that are in the future. I understand future dates can be good if you want to add something already that comes out in a few days or weeks and it can then go live immediately once it comes out, but maybe limit that to no more than a month or two?

Shouldn't be able to add future releases at all. Or at least I thought MobyGames only dealt with released games...
