Unfortunately I get the feeling that people like Yogscast and Seananners can do whatever the hell they like in DayZ and nothing will happen because it would not be in the business interests of the DayZ devs.

The main issue here is the huge influence wielded by Seananners which is encouraging hacking and the use of hacked weapons and vehicles in his video. I'ts worth mentioning, for example that the guy who actually hacked in the items had his skype name displayed in the video, and commented that he has already received hundreds of contact requests. Why? You can bet that most of these are people wanting him to hack in items or vehicles for them - some no doubt offering incentives for him to do this. That, my friends is the ripple effect of this kind of video watched my 100's of thousands of impressionable people. I know Rocket has stated in the past that simply using hacked weapons will not get you banned, I can understand this if you accidentally picked an item up and were none the wiser, but deliberately using knowingly hacked weapons and vehicles and then posting a video of this for the gaming community to watch is really damaging to the community and the game.

Well known YouTuber Seananners knowingly takes and uses spawned in hacked weapons and vehicles (eg chopper) in his recent DayZ video:
