End-to-end operator runbook

1. Find the term: Use the table before acting on unfamiliar report wording.
2. Open the surface: Follow the linked surface docs for controls and route behavior.
3. Confirm scope: Check whether the term is local, shared, or network-managed.
4. Verify source: Use Report Detail or the relevant appeal/profile page for proof.
5. Use exact wording: Put report number, status, scope, and role in handoffs.

Common mistakes

Do not use watchlist, ban, and network ban interchangeably. They represent different scopes, owners, and operational effects.
