type status in console (the ~ button next to 1)

it brings up a whole list of whos playing

Example: # 5 "SaWoOpa" 146 STEAM_0:1:11241338   0 01:57   36    0
the steam ID is STEAM_0:1:11241338   and the name is SaWoOpa.

Also mention the time of the incident

I am not an alcoholic... I am a drunk.... Alcoholics go to meetings.

WARNING!
Times mentioned in the above post are stated in WHUT time... which is not the time normal humans are accustomed. Whut time is relative. Today is defined as whenever Whut happens to get a bug up his ass and thinks he is gotten sorta of close to being in the mood. The actual real life timeframe for these occurences is unknown at this time. Sometimes it happens more than once in a day and during other periods it would be more like for hell to freeze over than anything actuallly getting done. Currently we are in a time frame where it would seem that there would be more of a chance of Dragon getting a girlfriend as far fetched as that might be than there would be of anything actually happening here.

First launch the game, but don't go to a server.  Go to Options, Keyboard, Advanced and then click "Enable Console" and hit apply or okay.  This will let you hit the " ~ " key, which on my comp is next to the "1" key.  In-game that button will bring down the console.

Then you enter "status" and hit submit.  It will list all the players and their Steam IDs.  Highlight and right-click on the highlighted item and choose copy.  You can then hit ALT+TAB to get out of the game, but leave it running in the background while you paste that into your word processor, or wordpad program, which you've left open for that reason and do a right-click and paste.

I usually jump on and hit status so I have everyone's ID in case there's some funny business later and the person logs off before you can capture his ID.  This happens often.  I usually end up not reporting because if I did that, I would spend my time doing that instead of playing. And folks complain that I don't play - because I'm policing the damn server. 

You're better off X-Firing an admin.  Never one on-line when you need one it seems.

EDIT: What Blood said. He beat me to the punch.  Record date, time, map and server. If you want, you can hit "F5" and take a picture of the incident to post with your report.  -Usually a warning about what the server rules are and a please stop makes people behave.  Unless they're drunk.

You should be more like Cantrip.
