    A few suggestions to fix common problems.

    I thought of a few methods that could fix some problems with the current FFR game... I'm no programmer, but I don't think they would be that hard to implement.

    1. Scores not recording - If your score doesn't record, there should be a button at the screen when your game ends that says "Re-record". If you press this button, the game automatically re-records the score (without giving you credits or total score, to prevent people from pressing it over and over again to get free credits and score.) This could also mean that you could load songs at home on a laptop, take the laptop with you, and get scores on the go without worry of them never being recorded as long as you could keep the screen open until you get internet access. This would also make Tass's job a lot easier, not having to worry about inputting people's unrecorded scores.

    2. People scoring higher above a AAA - When you open up the top scores on a song, there should be a button you can press. This button would automatically check the amount of arrows in the song and determine if the score is possible or not, and if it is impossible, it would be deleted.

    3. People not receiving skill tokens when they should have - Much like the re-record button, except this one would recheck to see if you met the requirements of a token, and give that token to you again even if it thinks you already have it.

    4. Not really a problem, but just a minor suggestion: make separate Token stat bars. Unless you're strictly a tier point player, there's no reason to ever play a Token song unless you're trying to unlock another token, like in the case of Disconnected ~mobius~ or that large chain of tokens that leads to The Five. I'm actually not positive whether this is already a subscriber feature - can someone tell me whether it is already or not?

    Can someone tell me whether these are good ideas to get rid of the problems?

    Why do people care about that? It doesn't give you anything in return, it just displays you on the daily stats. Not like anyone would be sucking your dick because you got 3095471750427 arrows on one day.

    1. I guess this would kind of be like a refresh for the score. While I like the idea, I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement. But this is a good idea if it can be done.

    2. I have a feeling this will be fixed soon enough, but it's getting worse and worse. I've brought up the topic of fixing this before it got out of hand months ago, so maybe I'm wrong and Synthlight won't ever get around to it.

    3. Nine times out of ten, it's because people read the requirements wrong. I don't think there's a fix for people not reading.

    4. This has been discussed before. I think the amount of server attention something like this would need (a whole separate .php) is too much for FFR at this point. With more people logging on each day, and server loads increasing everyday, it just can't happen.
