While the whole cliques/groups thing is not ok, especially within staff, I don’t think that it warrants a community ban. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the members that were banned were warned about their actions, and that it would lead to a whole community ban. I think that the punishment should be, at the very most, demotion by only one rank if they were a staff member, and a ban of 1-2 weeks. A simple warning could have avoided this, but it’s likely that these people will never come back.
