This idea won't destroy clans..? Lol. That's a slight exaggeration.
Secondly, crew members can mute etc. as you said, but that doesn't mean scripting can do some work. This is like using a car instead of a bike - administrators can do less pedaling and get on with chasing cheaters in their super fast car (lol). Scripting punishments where possible reduces work for administrators, and creates a more solid system. I'm posting this not as a developer, but as a player. We're not adding features to cancel out the administrators' duties, but instead improve the gameplay on LVP - isn't that what you want?! Isn't the whole point of you being an administrator is so you can make LVP a better place? I find it ironic that even as one of these administrators you complain that there won't be enough bad things going on for you to deal with. Woah! Let's make LVP a flame-free environment. This is the start, as gangs are a large problem with flaming.
You're putting your personal preference of muting all gang members one by one in front of what's probably best for the server - reducing flaming with little effort at runtime.
