So, I have quite some questions here. It's about Online play.
I started a character, played my first module, and warned beforehand (and after) that I decided to use slow XP track. But then GM making few mistakes.
First: He reported game as Core, while it was not. (Figures, we got Occultist, Oracle and some other not core classes)
While he said that he changed it back, this session is still marked on my session list with this stamp: "Character is incorrect organized play type PFSRPG for table of type PFSPFC."
So here comes my first question: How to remove that stamp?
Second: He recorded and handled me chronicle sheet with normal XP track. I pointed that out, he made an excuse and handled new one with slow XP track.
Story not ends here.
After that game I have played two more scenarios, in winch GMs made same second mistake. They reported as if character had normal XP track.
After that on my session list it says that I get 1 and 2 prestige points for those sessions, while it should be 1/2 and 1.
So here comes a second question: How to make it show correct prestige points?
And last thing. Out of 3 GMs, one completely neglected that I am using slow XP track and not updated chronicle sheet. I'm trying to get it from her, but she ignores my emails.
So here comes third question: How can I receive correct chronicle sheet?
P.S. In case you are wondering, I have reported those sessions but had no answer from paizo.

Under your sessions you should be able to report the error over the website. That should be the fix for the online portion of the problem.
Did you know, that in my eight seasons now of Pathfinder Society, that button has yet to do anything other than report there's a problem which then sits somewhere with no action being taken?

Exactly since it didn't work I'm asking what to do.

o here comes my first question: How to remove that stamp?
I wouldn't bother. its on pretty much every game recorded as core. Don't worry about it.
Second: He recorded and handled me chronicle sheet with normal XP track. I pointed that out, he made an excuse and handled new one with slow XP track.
he doesn't need an "excuse"
Its dull, repedative paperwork after running a session at which point, the DM's brain is fried.It gets messed up all the time.
After that game I have played two more scenarios, in winch GMs made same second mistake. They reported as if character had normal XP track.
There's no xp tracking on the website.
The only real use for prestige tracking is for paizo to see how often people are completing them, so putting down 1 even though you got full prestige looks funny.After that on my session list it says that I get 1 and 2 prestige points for those sessions, while it should be 1/2 and 1.
I don't think you even CAN enter half into that thing, can you?
So here comes a second question: How to make it show correct prestige points?
Don't
Don't worry about it. Don't bother with it. Just keep track on your chronicles. No one but a venture critter can even look at those , and I don't see why they wouldbe.
And last thing. Out of 3 GMs, one completely neglected that I am using slow XP track and not updated chronicle sheet. I'm trying to get it from her, but she ignores my emails.
Don't worry about it. As long as the sheets are good you're good.
So here comes third question: How can I receive correct chronicle sheet?
Just write in "SLOW" yourself on the chronicle sheet , next time you see them have them sign it. The error happens more times than not so it shouldn't get questioned.

Hey Dark --
I will say that with GMing online, Chronicle sheets are one of my largest headaches. It always takes a while for me to get everything right, so I usually start them up in the final boss fight, and then I ask in discussion: "Hey guys, do I have all the correct information from you? Slow track or regular?"
Yes, I can copy a lot of basic information from sheet to sheet. But stuff happens. There is out of tier gold or slow track or job roll tables to deal with, and I have to do math (my horrid gaming math is legendary) which I then have to check and re-check.
Inevitably, someone gives me the wrong character number, and I don't find out until I'm reporting. So I have to go to their profile and COUNT society characters to get the right number. And I have to edit and re-upload the chronicle sheet. Or something else gets missed. Or I have a boon to figure out, spells to get scribed into someone's spellbook or formulary, or something else that slows the whole process down. Now, I get this done in advance, so when the players finish up, their chronicles just show up seamlessly. But this seamlessness was 2-3 (and sometimes 4 if spellbooks are involved) hours of work on my part.
Mistakes happen, from both players and GMs. Have patience and contact your GM first. If he's unreachable, talk to Jesse. Things that can be handled in a few minutes face to face sometimes take a while online, even with the most prepared and organized GMs.

I'm not blaming anyone. And it will be reasonable... If not the fact that he handled first chronicle sheet a week after the game. Still, he is quite good GM nevertheless, always answering my emails.
