To have your social networking profile banned (or smyffed) for no apparent reason other than living life.
Usually occurs when the network administrators take their rules too literally i.e.
1. Having too many friends
2. Being a member of a banned group
3. Sending too many messages
4. Not using your profile much
Can also occur when a third party asks you to shut your profile down, such as your employer when they think you are networking in work time.

DAVE: Well done John for getting smyffed.
JOHN: Thanks Dave, but that wasn't my intention. I was catching up with friends on Facebook during my lunch break, and before you know it, I'm dragged into the office and given a bollocking!
DAVE: Sorry to here that John. What occured?
JOHN: Well they forced me to close my account or lose my job.....I had to close my account of course 'cos I have a family to feed. I have a lawyer on the case though......we're taking them to court on the grounds of unfair dismyffal.
DAVE: Good luck with that....gotta go.....tell me all about it on Twitter later on!!
