Moderators should lock/unlock threads (at their discretion, with or without notice), move off-topic threads to the right places (at their discretion, with or without notice), alert members who break the rules of the rules, alert administrators of concerns, etc.
Moderators should not lock threads simply because they're old.
Moderators should generally lock threads for authors who request for them to be locked.
If a thread or post is concerning for any reason in accordance with administrator guidelines, and locking or moving it is not the solution, a moderator should move it to the Moderated forum for review, where any number of things may happen to it. Moderators cannot delete threads (so, they should move them to the Moderated forum instead, where an administrator may or may not delete them).
Moderators should not unlock, nor unpin threads that administrators have locked or pinned, without permission.
Moderators can ban and unban users. You may appeal to be unbanned, but if you have not changed your ways, don't count on it. Make your appeal to an administrator. Being offended by the one who banned you will not help you. You are most likely to be reinstated if you are friendly and humble.
Banned users can still log in, and they can still email other users, unless their email privileges have been revoked by an administrator. However, they cannot post.
Moderators should not use such as a three strikes policy, for banning. Each case should be considered intelligently.
Moderators may pin threads, but should do so sparingly, and according to administrator guidelines.
Emailing users is not part of a moderator's job, at all (although administrators may do it). Moderators should do all moderator-related communications with members within the forums themselves (however, engaging with members about the moderation after having performed it is generally discouraged, beyond notification of the fact). If you receive an email from a moderator, treat it as if a regular user is emailing you. They have no authority in emails, nor do they off-site.
Please do not share emails from moderators with administrators. We have no way of knowing what you just made up and what is true. (And besides, their emails are the same as those of regular users.) You are certainly free to ignore emails from moderators, and filter them out, if you so desire.
Moderators do not automatically have access to your email address like administrators do.
If you need to talk to a moderator or administrator, where possible, please do it in the Support forum.

Regular members cannot lock threads themselves.
You may ask moderators and administrators to lock your own threads for you. In most cases, they should do it for you.
You may ask moderators and administrators to lock or unlock other peoples' threads. They may or may not do so.
Threads may be locked for a variety of purposes; these may include (but are not limited to) the following:
* Moderation
* Quality control
* Because the administrator thinks the thread is too long or complex and needs to be many topics instead of one.

Okay, the site has experienced some major changes lately.
1. The navigation links to forums at the top of the screen are now visible from all forums.
2. Some other links appear at the bottom of all screens.
3. Registered users must become Members in order to post.
4. Upon registering, users will be directed to the Getting started post, which tells them, among other things, how to become Members.
5. Registered users and Members can no longer move their own threads. Only moderators and administrators can move threads. This is for security reasons.
6. Moderators have been configured properly. So, if I want to add moderators, I can, now.
7. Since only administrators can delete threads of other users, I made a private forum where moderators can move posts.
8. The Wants and Offers forums are only visible to a special user group and Administrators. However, you should be added when you become a member. The purpose of the group is to make use of those forums revoke-able.
9. Only users in a certain group may post in The Writing Desk. There are a few reasons for this: Users might not understand the purpose of it. Users may be very tempted to break the rules there. This is also for quality control purposes. Members may post quality threads about plants and food, but they might be tempted to do who knows what here. Users should be posting elsewhere on the site—for the most part, anyway, but if they post something off-topic, the posts may be moved here.
10. There is a special user group for Herbalists. This privilege to post in the Herbalism forum may be revoked. EDIT: The Herbalism forum was deleted on 13 Jan 2020, due to the expansion of the forums, and how a Herbalism forum is kind of redundant, now that more than just edible plant forums exist.
11. There is a special user group for the Organic Gardening forum. This privilege to post in it may be revoked.
12. The Organic Gardening forum can only be seen by those who have the privilege.
13. Only Administrators and Moderators may lock threads. This is to prevent users from unlocking their threads when moderators have locked them. It is also for quality control purposes.
14. Introductions now go in the Introduce Yourself forum.

Unfortunately, no. The reason is that this feature could easily be abused, and would be difficult to moderate (since moving a thread does not result in a notification). If you want your thread moved, please ask a moderator or administrator. Or, delete your thread and post the same content somewhere else.
Signatures, avatars, and usernames should conform to the same rules as threads and replies. However, signatures need not be on-topic in every forum that you post in. If a moderator or administrator asks you to change or modify your signature for any reason, do it. If a moderator or administrator asks you to change or modify your avatar for any reason, do it.
Users with unfit, vulgar, offensive, or unsavory usernames will lose membership status (or even be banned), until they change their usernames to appropriate ones.
Avatars should not contain large images, animations, or blinking text.

Here's Martha Stewart's page about starting tomatoes from seed. She talks about some tomato varieties, too:
