Pronunciation

indeffed (not comparable)

1. (MediaWiki, slang) Used to describe a user, account, or IP address that is indefinitely blocked or banned from editing or other actions.

   Someone else may want to consider whether the AFDs should be closed as initiated disruptively by a sock of an indeffed user.

   He's been following me around all over Wikipedia for the better part of two months, doing his best to frustrate anything and everything I do, without regard to reason or sanity. In this case, he's seized upon some edits by this indeffed user, which he then decided to adopt as his very own, clearly for the express purpose of creating a confrontation.

   The style and content of RockSound's editing (especially the "pro-guilt" stuff and dancing on the edge of NLT) is very reminiscent of two indeffed users, Zlykinskyja and PhanuelB.
