The solution for that is simple: remove reliance on the email for promotions. An admin-only forum should suffice, one where we would discuss the things admins need to discuss -- including promotions.

Suggestions on the other hand also shouldn't be put in the hands of a single admin (unless that's not what overlooking that means), so it's fine the way it is now. I think we could improve by just adapting the content from the admins template, which already lists each of our strong points. We could have a page with certain tasks that someone might need help with and who among the admins (can be multiple) could be contacted for such task. Over time, we could just add more and more tasks based on frequent needs.

(Also, is Plasma's vote to be counted? Is he still CotG?)

There's no way to create an admin-only board that only admins can see and post in. We already have issues with users posting threads in the Announcements board, when they shouldn't. I think the admins' opinions should remain private. Users have waited months for a collective reply from the admins for promotions and suggestions, all because the admins won't check the admin email address.

And no, PlasmaBot's vote doesn't count (neither does any regular member's, in fact). As I said in the OP, this is for admins only to vote on.
