Activity is based on the minimum of the number of posts and number of active two-week periods.

Ref: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.0

Once you complete the next two week period your activity will increase by 14.

After the new Activity feature on bitcointalk.org Hero and Sr Members has a value.
Before that rule most spams and trolls where getting the Hero and Sr tags and those tags where worthless.
Now you have to work hard to get those cool tags.

Not really, it just takes time and posts instead of only posts.
