Could someone have negative reputation on Stack Overflow? [duplicate]

Question

Imagine I'm new to Stack Overflow and I create a new question that receives 10 downvotes. That means I should lose 10 x 2 reputation points.

Since a user starts with 1 rep on Stack Overflow, I understand I would have -19 rep. Is this so, or can a user's reputation never go below 0?

Answer 1

Reputation indeed never goes below 1. But the reputation graph history can. Here was an example, but the user doesn't exist anymore.

Answer 2

Reputation never goes below 1, no matter how much you're downvoted.
