How do I report a character name if they haven't said anything?

This morning I ran across a character name that definitely ran afoul of the TOS regarding naming characters. This name glorified domestic terrorism. The problem is they hadn't said anything that showed up in my chat box. How do I report this character? I've never reported a player in any game before so I don't know how to do this.

    If you are near them. Hitting "F" for the interaction menu while your cursor is on them. One of the options in the wheel is to "report player"

    Hi there! There are two primary ways to file a report in-game:

    PC / Mac players can right-click on a player character name in their chat window and choose the “Report Player” option.

    They can then press [E] to report a player for chat spam, including spamming gold sales advertisements. This will automatically send a report and does not require players to open and fill out a ticket.

    In the case where you are unable to select a player name: Press [R] to report another player for something unrelated to spam. Choosing this option opens the ticket creation page.

    Console players should navigate to the Player Menu ([Menu] on Xbox One or [Options]) on PlayStation 4 and find the Help Menu. From there, they should select the Customer Service Menu and proceed to fill out a ticket under the appropriate category type.

    Please provide the following information:

    The name of the player who is being reported
    The reason why they are being reported (Spam, Botting, Harassment, exploit)
    The time of the incident
    The megaserver the reported player is playing on

    For more information, feel free to check our other articles on our support site here.

    Thanks for the replies tmbrinks and ZOS_Nith. Like I said, I've never felt the need to report anyone before, and I've been playing online games since early 2011. Hopefully I won't need to report anyone any time soon. But it's nice to know how to do it on those rare occasions when I need to.
