Named after the character Andrea Zuckerman in the show Beverly Hills 90210, getting Zuckered is a reference to a demotion among a group of friends to a level reflecting her low social status on the show. One who has been Zuckered is rendered to the level of friend people put up with in large social settings, but generally try to avoid bringing out to smaller more intimate gatherings.

If your friends don't invite you to the "cool" gatherings, you've been Zuckered. If you are made fun of constantly behind your back, you've been Zuckered. If people suspect you have some no-chance crush on another member of the group, you've been Zuckered.

It can also be identified by the collective low groan exhibited by the group when a Zuckered person arrives.

The irony of one who has been Zuckered, is they typically have no clue it has happened and try to act as a normal member of the group. Once one has been Zuckered, it is best to move on to friends of even lower social status, hobos, criminals, Walmart employees, to attempt to re-establish social hierarchy.

When a forum admin promises to stop trolls from picking on said member who is being picked on but then decides not to and bans them for no good reason other than 'screw it, you were rude to me' so any posts about them stay up even after they promised to close that thread down, and then screwing them over by having the blame be put on them instead of the troll that's picking on them - promising to remove a forum post about you and then deciding to put it back and allow it to run past more than 100+ pages.
Brian totally Zuckered TaynaBladex on the forum last night.

zuckered in 

That time you thought, “Let me just check Facebook for a sec while I’m at lunch,” and when you looked up, it was dinner time.
I meant to run to the grocery story this afternoon, but I let myself get zuckered in.

getting zuckered 

The experience of giving up your private and personally identifiable information, preferences, and media, all for the questionable trade-off of being allowed to join Facebook. (Facebook is owned by Mark Zuckerberg, who is quoted below…)
Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
(Redacted Friend's Name): What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb fucks.
