ok this might not be the best forum to post this but here goes. I (think I) am quite familiar with Corp standings mechanics but I'm puzzled by this:
Let's say Corp A has 4 members and their standings to the Minmatar faction are as follows: P1 - 10 P2 - 8 P3 - 1 P4 - 1
Provided that all 4 characters are more than a full week in corp, this will bring Corp standings towards Minmatar at 5.00 (10+8+1+1=20 and 20/4=5)
Now say that P3 and P4 leave the corp and a DT follows. I would expect Corp standings towards Minmatar to become 9.00 (10+8/2) after the DT but in practice, they remained at 5.00
I know it takes a full week for a member to be in Corp before his standings count towards the Corp standings but it seems that after said member leaves there is also a set amount of time needed before his "leaving" takes effect?
Mind you, I cleared my cache and even tried to anchor a POS in a 0.7 system (got a message informing me that my corp standings were not good enough) so it's not a UI bug. Also, on the "show compositions" window only P1 and P2 show up, with their standings of 10 and 8 displaying correctly, but on the top line the Corp standing is still 5.00
Hope I make sense and really curious to find out the answer to this. Can anyone help?

I believe there is a reoccuring 'feature' with corp standings, and sometimes it takes more than one DT for the standings to fix themselves. If it takes more than a couple DT, then you might want to bug it.

Corp standings only change if members standings change.
So it is even possible for there to be a corp with positive standing towards a faction, and nobody in the corp with standing towards that faction. |

I already made an ingame petition, been 12hrs+ since and ofc I have no response as of yet :) I'll see what happens after the next DT, thanks for the reply |

.....
[The algorithm looks at timestamps for standings-change, and compares it with the corp's timestamp. If someone leaves the corp, the corp's timestamp isn't updated, because the corp's timestamp can only be updated at downtime.] Hm so you mean that, in order for corp standings to change, an existing member must make something to alter his personal standings towards a faction? How about when a new member joins, that certainly affects standings (a week later) even if his standings remain intact - I'm 100% sure it works this way, done it several times to permit corps (that I joined) to anchor a POS.

You're right on that, I've seen it happening as well. I had Corps with just one member who had no standings towards a faction and still the Corp retained a portion of older members (that had left) standings, 2 months later. Not sure why or how it works exactly - it was only a portion of the "old" standings but it wasn't declining any more after a certain stage.
I hope my petition gets answered, I'll get back to this post with the GMs response, just for the records. Thanks for replying as well.

Update:
After the 2nd DT, the Corp standings updated "correctly" or "as expected" - meaning, in the example above, became 9.00
My best guess is, after a member leaves a Corp, it takes 24hrs PLUS the next DT (so actually "two DTs") for the Corp standings to be affected. Who knows.. just posting this for anyone interested on the issue.
PS: My ingame petition is still untouched by a GM :)
