I know starting a thread in the wrong area can get you a warning point - which could eventually lead to you being banned. Head over to the support section here: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/support-feedback.3/
Yes, links will probably get you banned - just add them to your signature. Images are probably ok but if it's an image of your url then that will be viewed as spamming. Context is everything.
Chances are, if you own the website - you should only post the link your signature. Also, never post affiliate links in a post.
