Realistically you probably will not get in trouble by taking these fine steel weapons (especially if nobody is around) but it is considered rude and in poor taste to stand around someone exping and looting whenever the timer lets you.
If you ask the person leaving the corpses, 99 times out of 100 they will let you have the fine steel. While you're at it, offer to trade their gold out for your plat at a 50% rate.

Sounds like great advice ... if you want to get in a fight with another player and quite possibly get suspended:

This is strictly prohibited and will result in removal of the item(s) and any appropriate disciplinary action.

A fine steel weapon is neither significant nor valuable. Petitioning something like that is a waste of the staff's time.
That said, I always thought of "Ninja looting" as taking a high level item by nefarious means such as leaving your group during a raid before looting so nobody can see the text, or looting something you didnt earn and logging off, etc. You can be on a raid,
help kill the mob, and still be a ninja looter.
