Banning TrashedGamers is not a very good idea, the group is huge and if there are many troublemakers in that group there is still going to be at least 50,000 players banned that is not a problem.
Oh, and btw. Group banning is no different than banning for being named "myg0t" or similar. But I would be careful with friends banning, I have used it with a few of the most active cheaters that are admins in many groups or members in many groups and have friends that are too when picking a few at random. But I believe there is a higher risk that someone "innocent" gets banned when banning friends. It could be someone that just wanted to talk to the person for some reason or the subject sent a friend invite and the victim accepted without thinking something bad would come out of it.
