There is nothing in the rules of conduct that say it's not allowed to trade beta keys. The rules of conduct specifically mention no trading of in game items. Beta keys are not in game items, they are access to beta test.
Why would you not want someone to give away or trade 1 beta key for another? It benefits the games in question if a non user gives their key to someone who is interested in beta testing the product.
I currently have a beta key to a big name 07 release which I am considering giving away or trading for another beta key because I hate the game design and hardly ever log in anymore.
I would be very interested in beta testing Spellborn.

I reread both the rules of conduct for this site and the specific rules for the Spellborn beta key giveaway and don't see it.
