Why is this happening?

I've used this format for years, similar to dandrew's;
Hoodoo Gurus - 1986-04-02 The Ritz, New York City, NY, USA (SBD 2496 FLAC)

If it was a remaster or multiple tapers, I might use something like this:
Hoodoo Gurus - 1986-04-02 The Ritz, New York City, NY, USA (SBD 2496 JWB remaster FLAC)

Parenthesis are optional but help separate the metadata from the gig identifier. Naming it as such with the date like that sorts well and contains the most important info.

If 16 bit only, I just leave that info out.

Short abbreviated unsortable naming schemes I've seen I find not useful:
gd80-09-26tape1sbd24
js1994-06-11.156679.chief.mcgee.miller.flac1648
Kiss-New York June 16th 1973 Flac

For AUD recordings, I don't really need to know what microphone or gear was used (in the title). The source type in the title is useful- AUD, FM, SBD, IEM + AUD, ALD, etc.

Src 1, Src 2. Again, my feeling is people can open the torrent file and get the additional info. But maybe that's just me.

Your site, your rules, of course, but what a way to annoy (and perhaps discourage) regular contributors.

The microphone abbreviation is way better than source 1/2/3 imo

I have to admit I was concerned with dandrew editing the titles, but after several months I think his efforts do show a good degree of consistency, organization, and logic. Compared with the crazy titles you sometimes see on Dime, I must say thank you. I hope to get his naming convention into the FAQ with some examples.
