Negative Rep.

Okayy my bf is telling me how, he was in a family and had 0 rep, he was forced to leave the family due to his junior quitting I've heard about a penalty occuring where the person leaving loses rep. My Bf is now in the negative reps.. So out of curiosity, does it mean he will have to gain that -4444 rep before he can actually gain positive rep, or will it just reset back to 0..?

For some reason I think nexon may of forgotten to not allow rep to go into the negatives...:f6:
