When I discover that an answer has been blatantly stolen from another user's answer I never know whether to comment and ask the user to delete the post or whether to flag it for moderator attention. What is the best course of action?

If it's in the same question, and the case is really really obvious, I would downvote, comment (if you're ready for the possible flame war, as Shadow Wizard mentions below), and flag. Also the user profiles of plagiators are often worth checking out - if you've done it once, chances are you've done it many times – Pekka supports GoFundMonica Feb 24 '14 at 15:56

Most likely it was done on purpose and maliciously so just flag. Commenting have big risk of starting a flame war with the offender, when he'll notice his missing answers and/or rep he'll get the point. – Shadow The Princess Wizard Feb 24 '14 at 15:56
