Christopher 1,393 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Attention all Game Server Administrators, Effective Wednesday February 19th, 2014, the Department of Human Resources has mandated that all current and future Game Server Administrators ("GSA's") are required to pass an initial written Game Server Administrator ("GSA") examination to retain or obtain administrative privileges, respectively, on our game servers. At this time, this applies to all Battlefield games that we support (BF2142, BF3, and BF4), as Battlefield games are the only games that we support (at the moment) that utilize client-to-server connections, rather than peer-to-peer connections. The examination is timed and consists of 10 multiple-choice questions. Each examination given randomly differs by miscellaneous means. The examinations focus on the terms, policies, and procedures outlined in the Battlefield 3 Server Terms (PC terms: here and PSN terms: here) and the Battlefield 3 Server Administrator Terms (PC admin terms: see the Admin Command Reference Documentation and PSN admin terms: here). Some questions will present to you a scenario, requiring you to critically think on what a server administrator should do (based on the policies and procedures outlined in the terms) in the given scenario. All exams are open-book, in the sense that you can refer to any necessary source of text (but not a person) during the exam. WARNINGS <ol style="list-style-type: decimal">[*]All GSA's must take the examination. There are NO EXCEPTIONS.[/*:m:jej2a883] [*]For Current GSA's, there is a grace period of two [2] weeks - you must take the exam (and pass it) on or prior to Wednesday, March 5th, 2014.[/*:m:jej2a883] [*]Current GSA's who have not yet taken the exam will be LOCKED at their current GSA position and will be MAXED to GSA III, during the grace period. Once the grace period is over, all privileges will be REVOKED if you have not passed the examination.[/*:m:jej2a883] [*]Current GSA's who have not taken the exam within the grace period will have ALL ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES REVOKED until they pass the examination. Yes, you must not only take the exam, you must pass it.[/*:m:jej2a883] [*]To pass the examination, a minimum of 8 questions must be correctly answered. Failure to pass the examination will result in a lock at your current position (during the grace period) until you pass the exam.[/*:m:jej2a883]</ol> [center:jej2a883]Exam sessions for those who have not yet taken the exam (but must) will begin Monday, February 17th, 2014 . Available sessions are roughly Monday - Wednesday, between 2:00 PM - 4 PM (EST).[/center:jej2a883] Link to post Share on other sites

Server Admins are encouraged to take the examination whenever they are available and a proctor is available. Apologies for the inconvenience. Link to post Share on other sites
