I've seen researcher, gold member, jr. researcher, etc… next to user names. How are they determined and what is the hierarchy?

This.

^That.

Taken from the Thread Snorlax Posted.

RANKS ACHIEVABLE BY ANYONE:
0-1 contributions: Brand New
2-5ish contributions: Protomember
5ish- 10ish/15ish: Member
11/16-50 contributions: Gold Membership
51-100 contributions: Jr. Researcher
100+ contributions: Researcher

OTHERS:
Entry and forum moderators are picked by the Community Managers, who are staff.
Tikibar Mgmt is arguably the second-coolest position, but is so secret that no one can say what powers it holds.
Scientist Emeritus is the coolest position.

Like I said in that thread, Horseeater has the Gold Membership and the Member backwards. It's Gold first before being an actual member, being a reference to this meme.
