disusered: adj.

[Usenet] Said of a person whose account on a computer has been removed, esp. for cause rather than through normal attrition. “He got disusered when they found out he'd been cracking through the school's Internet access.” The verbal form disuser is live but less common. Both usages probably derive from the DISUSER account status flag on VMS; setting it disables the account. Compare star out.
