A ban is exactly that. Just because you decide to adopt another persona with another account doesn't justify a second account. You as a person were banned, not just as an EoFF account. Agreed with Ouch! on the second account front in relation to VtG.
As for the members that were banned, it's unfortunate but they chose to persistently break the rules and go against what is expected of the members of the forum. It's not difficult to keep to the rules, but they couldn't manage that.
