The best strategy seems to fall right in line with Niantic's vision for the game, have a few of your friends with you and attack the gym at the same time.  The problem though is not everyone travels in a West Side Story gang style pack, and not everyone plays for the same team as their friends.

 

Edit: To add, what I just put in the PoGo Nation thread, My level 26 account just got smacked with a banhammer. I left work to go hit some stops and a gym about a mile down the road. On the way back my GPS was lost and then reconnected when I got back to work. So, according to the game it seems like I teleported. Didn't think bans happened that quickly, but who knows. Maybe some whiny bastard reported me for having a strong Snorlax on a gym. Guess I will have to wait a few days/weeks/whatever for Niantic to get back to me.

Bit of a shame, though I actually don't mind starting a new account because at least now it doesn't take 10 balls to catch anything. 

Um may I ask, what does the ban look like, it could be soft ban, which just disables the app for a day. 

When I try to log in the loading bar gets less than halfway then says "failed to get game data from the server"

In checking out other forums and such, everyone is saying that points to a permaban.  Also, Niantic apparently recently decided that all bans will be permabans.
