1) After the next DT
2) They can rejoin after DT, their standings will only count after another 7 days
3) See 1 and 2
4) See 2

In short, standings are recalculated after DT every day as an average of everyone who has been in the corp longer than 7 days (and has any standings whatsoever)

There are arguments about this, which is hard to believe, but I'm going to do it anyway.

I have done this about 6 times. It is most indeed a 7 day wait.

End of story.

"Standings are re-calculated daily at downtime and is a straight average of the unmodified racial standings of everyone who has been in the corporation for at least seven downtimes. If a pilot does not have any standings at all with the racial faction, then they are not counted towards the standings. If a pilot has been in the corporation for fewer then seven days / downtimes, then they are not counted towards the standings. "

" It is also possible to buy existing corporations with high standings and anchor POS towers before the standings drop at the next downtime (or after seven days in some situations). "

So..the Real Answer is BOTH: 1 DT or 7 DT's.....depending. As your case is identical to mine, you will wait 7 DT's.


also: "The easiest way to get a corp up and running with the correct standings is to make a 1 player corp with a player who already has high faction standing personally. After 7 days the standings will jump to the average of all players in the corp not counting those with neutral standings. " http://www.eve-guides.com/poss/empirepos.php

Big reason for this is that it used to work differently, and not everybody keeps up on mechanics changes.
And, of course, whether they keep up on mechanics changes or not has very little relationship with their level of certainty.



If the OP (or their standings character) has been in the corp for more than 7 days, kicking the other members and waiting for the next DT will suffice. The other members can be re-invited at any time (after 7 days, the Corp standings will change, however).
If the OP (or their standings character) has not been in the corp for more than 7 days, they can kick the other members at any point and wait until the DT after their 7th full day in corp. The other members can be re-invited at any time (after they've been members for 7 days, the Corp standings will include their standings, however).

I've done it too, and it is only 7 days for a new corp, since everyone including the CEO is a new member.

Otherwise, I've only had remove people with low standing for one downtime.

One catch is that you must flush your cache to have the standing change.

Yeah. I found that out 3 years ago after waiting for 9 DT's !

But since then, I have only and only ever, had to wait the 7 DT's without exception.

That is all I know, and can know.

After 3 years of doing this I can only assume the "One Downtime" crowd is just trolling the Forums.

I just used the drop/join workaround a few months ago for my corp.

You can kick someone for as long as it takes for them to reapply and rejoin, it did not require one hour, one DT, etc. but see note below.

Their standings will not be included in the average for 7 DT's (I do think I got shorted a day though, probably due to NOT keeping them out for a DT)

I didn't flush the cache but it sounds like a good idea.

For a new corp it will take 7 DT's to get a corp average.

As a 2nd downtime passed the corp standing mirrored mine exactly.

For the usual sake of completion this char joined the corp the 15th and became the only member on the 23rd before the downtime, after the DT on the 24th the standings of the corp mirrored the standing of the charachter
