On Area 51 yesterday my score was 258 points.
From yesterday I've gained 35 points, but today my score is... 190!
How is it possible?
I attach my point by post (screenshot from Area 51).

We have a daily scheduled task that invalidates votes that match malicious-looking patterns. In this case, looks like someone did go ahead and cast a bunch of upvotes that got picked up by this tool and reversed about 17 hours ago.

So why, then, did it not show "voting corrected" on their reputation page?– NissaCommented Dec 8, 2016 at 20:35

@StephenLeppik Because Area 51 is based on an older code set that did not have any of that fancy stuff. Commented Dec 8, 2016 at 20:38

@AdamLear: Ok, but if those votes are malicious, you remove that increment but I remain to 258 (instead of 293) but I dropped to 190! Commented Dec 8, 2016 at 23:12

@JoeTaras Adam didn't say which votes were removed. They may have been some time ago, and the total amount removed was 103– RobCommented Dec 8, 2016 at 23:14

@Rob: Ok. If Area51 has "voting corrected" notification, for trasparency is better. Commented Dec 8, 2016 at 23:18
