• A quick Google search or search here in the WordPress Stack Exchange would have revealed the answer - it's no longer used by WordPress core. – Mat Commented Apr 14, 2018 at 23:11

The user_status column in the wp_users table is no longer used by WordPress core - it just hasn't been removed. It may, or may not be used in the future. Best to leave it alone...

It is used to update the status of a user in the database. Used in core to mark a user as spam or "ham" (not spam) on multisite installs.

Status 0 is Ham
Status 1 is Spam

Again, this will not work on single site installs.
