disusered

(Usenet) Said of a person whose account on a computer has

been removed, especially 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 verb

"disuser" is less common. Both usages probably derive from

the DISUSER account status flag on VMS; setting it disables

the account.
