We're having the same problem with the CT board this year. Our outing and IS sponsor tournament topics don't get featured like other forums do.
When I inquired about this last week, a moderator from another state board (I'll be nice and leave out the name I was given) apparently took this personal and from what I understand, abused his powers. It's quite disappointing to see that an IS sponsor had their statewide tournament thread deleted. Final tally: More harm done than good. The remaining annual outing thread still hasn't been featured either.
In my e-mail (to Scott I'm guessing) over the incident, I offered my appologies since I likely kicked off the festivities that followed, and services as an experienced moderator to handle the duties required, but my e-mail was never replied to. I thought maybe I was being picky, but it's reassuring to see that the RI site needs assistance too.
So once again, I'm offering more than what's happened so far. A solution, and my time. How about it?
