#1. AFAIK, there is no way to really track it on a graph or time-table of any kind, if that's what you mean.
#2. No. The amount of "Rep power" is decided by a combination of your forum registration date, your number of posts, and your current reputation status.
#3. I forget. It's been a while. I think the first 5 bars are 100 each, then the remaining are 200 each (or vice-versa). It does cap at 11 bars.
#4. You'll have to search for your own posts and click on the 
icon to see if that post has been rated. To give you an example of what it looks like, I just gave you reputation on this thread, so you should see my message there. lol
oh I have 642, hooray.

What about: Awesomeness of Avatar and Size of sig? those effect it to right? Should be more modest sig equals more rep power otherwise I have to get myself a sig pic.

Now that I think of it.. I forgot to make June's. I better hurry up! haha
Edit:
And ROFL at your rep message back to me.
Reputation is a bizarre game. I used to have a mildly positive rep number, and then all of a sudden it was in the +200s now, it is like -273. I have no idea who I pissed off, but they didn't like something. (And for the life of me, I can't find the post that was repped.)

actually all it takes is one power-repped person neg-repping you to send the rep-rating plummeting. I myself was well into 7 positive bars myself, when as best as I can tell, a select group of players began hell-repping me. |

Now, how do I know that it was only one or two people with inflated reputations? Well, in several posts I made I would have 3 or 4 Green Positive Reps, and one single Red Rep, but the overall reputation of the post would be Extremely Negative or Very Negative. Ergo, the negative rep had to be applied by a player with a rep rating high enough to over-ride 3 or 4 positive reps.
Personally, I'm not even sure rep applies as a useful metric, and at this point, has descended into a tool used for petty show-offs. Most of the players whose opinions I respect have, much like me, simply turned their rep display off due to the ease with which some players can actively abuse the rep system.

Forum Rep has basically been dismissed as a forum game by the mods. I don't know why they don't disable it entirely (they disabled the star ratings for players on the old boards). Hell, I don't know why they didn't disable it from the beginning.

I've never viewed it as any sort of useful metric, myself, but rather just as a bar to be filled - like XP.

this is the second forum I frequent that has a rep system, sadly to say the other forum has better settings for rep points that aren't so easy to manipulate as they are here.

Just for the record, I loathe drama (in this context) and don't find it at all entertaining. Mostly just annoying.
Dec out.
I find the rep system to be silly. I dunno how I got a full bar, but I did. Don't matter to me.

To whoever left this rep. comment:

Thanks! It took me entirely too long to take screenies of all of the characters I care about (my current project is to get each of the characters pictured to 50 [3 of 17 so far]), edit out the backgrounds in PhotoShop and then composit them together like that. Then I had to alter my avatar, and search the web for like an hour to find a graphic that was of a piece of metal I liked.
 Awesome sig.

And, oddly, I feel compelled to go back to the drawing board... or change the current one a bit.
Questions:
#1: any way I can track ups or downs?
#2: does everyone effect others rep equally?
#3: what does each rep bar equal in rep?
and most important
Where did I get all this rep? last time I looked it was gray.
