I wish there was something to better explain the reputation system. I got up a few points then missed a few weeks and then i got knocked down below where i started with no power in my votes.

Rep goes up with incoming votes and goes down with flags. So when you get upvotes your rep goes up and when you get flagged it goes down.
great and i assume upvotes from a better rep steemian only matters otherwise anyone can use bots for upvotes and achieve higher rep.
That is correct. The higher the rep of the upvoters, the more it affects your rise in reputation. I would note though, that some bid bots have moderate reputations. So gaming the system is still possible.
Thanks for that. Am i right that if you are inactive it goes back down?
No. It remains constant in your absence.
