Many questions like this can be found by grepping the source.

cpu80:/usr/local/src/slash# grep -r defaultdisplaystatus *
plugins/Admin/admin.pl:         $storyref->{displaystatus} =
$slashdb->getVar('defaultdisplaystatus', 'value');
plugins/Admin/admin.pl:         $storyref->{displaystatus} =
$slashdb->getVar('defaultdisplaystatus', 'value');


Then if you look more closely around those lines in admin.pl, you see they
are in the editStory function.  defaultdisplaystatus, as shown there, is
used for the default displaystatus of new stories.

There is no displaystatus for users, so I am not sure what you are
referring to there.
