If I'm remembering correctly, and I'm pretty sure I am the ranking system previously to this was merely just based on post count. I haven't hosted any Simple Machine Forums for quite some time, but it might well be the default ranking system used. I can't remember the exact ranking requirements, but just as an example; to become a hero member you needed 500 posts. I'm not sure if there's any "official" posts regarding this as like I said it might be the default SMF behavior.

Here's a thread discussing it back in 2011 which verifies that my memory is in fact correct: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27917.0

Forum rankings, unless custom, are based on post-count alone.

Highest is Hero Member, followed by Sr. Member, followed by Full Member, followed by Jr. Member, followed by Newbie.



What are the numbers of posts for each ranking?

I believe it's something like:
Hero - 500
Sr Member - 250
Full Member - 100? (not sure on this one)

As we can see from the quoted discussion from that thread is that most of the post count values were similar to the required activity these days. However, Jr member was slightly changed.
