That's not fully true, you cannot trade steam KEYS directly on Steam forums. It gives a crap, I know several traders which accs were TEMPORARY banned on trading forums cause of this kind of activity.
On other hand trading gifts or any other inventory items for other inventory items are allowed and welcome
