Here is a summary of actions the Anonymous Monk can not do which a user with an account can do. As an Anonymous Monk, you can not:
- update your own post (to fix mistakes, add info, etc.)
- up-vote or down-vote nodes
- customize your settings (display settings, nodelet settings, etc.), which are far too numerous to list here.
- "Check for newer nodes" in Recently Active Threads or Newest Nodes
- post to the ChatterBox
- post to the Q&A section (either a Question or an Answer)
- post to the Tutorials section
- post to the Book or Module Reviews section
- be eligible to join groups
- be notified of new changes to PerlMonks via Tidings
- send and receive private messages (exception)
- edit your home node
- edit your scratchpad
- moderate or consider nodes
- search for your old nodes (as distinguished from all other Anonymous Monk posts)
- view the reputation (and vote spread) of your own nodes
- view Worst Nodes
- view the contents of reaped nodes
- view the scratchpads of new monks (Level 3 and below)
- read/edit some of the wikis on the site (see jdporter's reply for details)
(Some of the above require a registered user to first attain certain privileges.)
I plan to refer to this list to remind myself of an
Anonymous Monk's limitations.
Update: refined due to jdporter's 1st and 3rd replies, and ambrus's reply.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
