If you do not activate won gifts, you risk being suspended or banned from the site.

The system catches up eventually. An incident doesn't have to be recent for someone to identify a missing game.

i made the mistake of not making myself aware of the rules, traded a won game & in return recieved a 15 day suspension from the site.

Neh, I reported this guy a week ago and nothing happened, you can do whatever you like in this site. http://www.steamgifts.com/user/LagartoFB

He entered a 15 copy giveaway of a Darksiders 2 dlc, won one, and then gift it to gain contributor. I already own that dlc, now i wonder why i didnt do the same thing.

They won 4 days ago, made gifts 3 days ago, and you couldn't have reported before that so... != week. Give it time. And since they gifted 3 different DLC the same day its likely they purchased a bundle or some sort after receiving their own as well. They may have proof of purchase, it seems borderline.
If you think you can do whatever you want, then by all means. Just watch for the door as it takes a swing.

It is allowed, go ahead and try for yourself. And you can even sell it on SteamTrades...

NOT!

So, how long does it usually take to ban someone who does trade their games. Have had a support ticket/report open for over a week and still nothing. Reported the person a few weeks ago as well.

A link to the Sgifts won and their Steam profile not containing any of them is more than sufficient then. Not sure what Support is doing.

Probably handling other tickets.

Depends on how backed up support is. If you're really impatient, you can get friendly with some of the support staff, so that you can PM them and ask what the hold up is without sounding rude.

If you want to give your friend a game he wants, you can buy it and give it to him with your own money. Don't use this site as a Santa bag to get gifts for your friends.

Exactly! You enter the contest because you want to receive the game and play it. If not, that means you entered not really wanting the gift in the first place.

You can't, you probably should go to another community or at least feel very bad for being so disrespectful

You realize you're not the only one with an open ticket, I hope? You absolutely cannot do whatever you like on this site, and please don't call out other users.
