The post was to point out a thing. Rewards are suppose to be limited and hard to get. They are suppose to be somewhat exclusive and to a form of brag right. Therefore adding an avatar with such an incredibly vague "requirement" isn't such a good idea. You could just as well add an award for every small thing you can think of.
I want one for 17th of May too. Otherwise it will just be racist.
Rewards are suppose to be hard? Do you know how easy it is to get the Gamer reward? Not that hard nor the Clash of Clans award. Web Developer isn't a hard reward, just show that you can code web related shit.
