Well i would suggesting the following changes:

			<if condition="is_member_of($post, 8)">
			<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="images/avatars/banned.gif" alt="Member is Eliminated" title="Member is Eliminated" /></a>
			<else />
			  <if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>
</if>

and

		  <if condition="is_member_of($post, 8)">
		  <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]"><img src="images/avatars/banned.PNG" alt="Member is Eliminated" title="Member is Eliminated" /></a>
		  <else />
		    <if condition="$show['avatar']">
                    <td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
              <else />
                  <td>&nbsp;</td>
              </if>
            </if>

This Code will show the banned avatar always!
