The simple solution to the post whoring: Either give everybody avatars or don't give them at all.
For those that contribute, rewarding someone for having a post count of 2000+ or giving them an avatar doesn't mean anything to me. To new users that browse these forums, it won't mean anything to them either. They might interpret those numbers as simply as a member that posts a lot.
If you really want to reward those members who contribute in a good way, set up a separate sub section or sticky in each section called "Member of the Month" or something and whoever gets that award in that section gets a free t-shirt or hat or i-club sticker or something. That would mean a lot more to the individuals and they would be recongnized more as a real contributor than simply giving them higher post counts and an avatar.
That's my 2 cents.
