Signature Question

[Ninjakreborn]

I want to ask this, because I would rather be safe than sorry.  I am starting to try to do affiliate marketing on the side for Host Gator. Trying to get some extra money from

selling hosting using a referrer link. I was going to either put a link to the affiliate, or put a banner from the affiliate in my Signature. 

 

I read through the TOS and I read this:

You agree that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden. You agree to follow the rules, which are found in this document, and directions from members of staff.

It says advertisements.  However, I already advertise my business site and blog. I have not had any complaints about that, and everyone else on the forum does.

I am not good with much of this Legal text.

 

So to make it a short question: Would me putting a banner or link to promote my affiliate link to Host Gator in my post signatures be against the terms of service?

A small text link would be generally excepted, a banner will get removed.

Ok cool. Thanks for clarifying that.
