People who say I don't know in forums

Hi everyone,
I don't know if any of you experienced this, but there have been some people who post something like I don't know in a forum where the OP is asking a question. Like just posting I don't know' is wasting everyone's time including yours, if you don't know the answer then just don't post.
@Aiden_Chen Firstly, u dont have the right to decide which person should make which post. Its up to people what posts they want to make. If i dont know is indeed so annoying, those people who posted i dont know would have been chatbanned. And if u indeed have a problem with i dont know, dont ask questions in forums. This forum is just a trash. (And by the way u stared ur first sentence with i dont know)
@DeadlyKillerInstinct
I am posting this to spread awareness, just asking if anyone else noticed this and what should we do about it.
And yes they will get chat banned but this is just way too often. Like just search through some forums and then find and post saying I don't know. I know it's not my problem but I just see it way too often like chess.com vs lichess threads
And when I mean people say I don't know it's just like a line in a forum where an OP is asking a question and they just reply with I don't know
@Aiden_Chen I get what you are saying, but honestly I think it's good that people speak up even if they are unsure of the answer. This bumps up the thread to the top of the page, so more knowledgeable people can answer it. It also shows that this is more of an urgent question since multiple people have no idea about the answer.

Hmm, interesting.

But I just feel like I have an urgent question and finally someone gives a reply! Let's see what he/she says
*I looked at the forum
xxx(random user): I don't know
Me: ...
@Aiden_Chen Just have patience. I'm sure most questions have an answer here.. although if it doesn't you can write to Lichess support.
@kaissa44
Yeah maybe we should just report them next time for spam, I am just spreading awareness that's all.
