Is Arena mode counting for casual?

After playing 2 Arena mod games, my elo suddenly tanked (but played more games, so not 100% sure). Should/do the games count for casual? It says "Rating: Casual" but not sure if it is correct. The games in question:

Game was not noelo=1, therefore it counted.

Any modded game (Arena, Tech-K, Zero Wars, Future Wars, etc) should probably be forced to use noelo, games that aren't normal ZK shouldn't count for casual rating. In fact, this should also be the case for any game that has 3 or more teams.

So people complain about smurfs, but you can lower the ELO by playing mods that you (might) have no clue about? This sounds very confusing.

Is the official position that mods should be included by default in the Casual ladder?

FW already opts out of elo at the mod level. It always treats itself as noelo due to the code.

I don't believe mods are generally supposed to count for any rating, but the room system does misbehave.

It can probably be fixed retroactively, with some effort.
