Does answering I don't know to a question on this site count as a nonsense answer or would it be in a different category?

Generally, answering a question with "I don't know" or IDK is considered unhelpful. "I don't know" answers are often reverted back to an exisiting answer or even to blank.
It's much better to try to research the answer for the person or, if you really don't know and can't find a good answer, to leave the question alone and let someone who might know a chance to answer it.

Why is no one answering your question?
The questions on WikiAnswers are answered by people just like you and me. Just regular people. There are supervisors that monitor the different channels or topics to make sure that there is no profanity or no nonsense answers, etc. We try to catch as many as possible but the site is very popular and many get through. The best way to get an answer is to make sure that your question is categorized properly. For instance, this question was in the "Animal Life" category and should have been in the "Questions about WikiAnswers Website". I have changed that category for you. Just be patient and if the question is in the correct category, it probably will get answered eventually.

Why is answers not answering my question?
The questions on WikiAnswers are answered by online citizens on a voluntary basis. They answer the questions that they want to, when they want to. And although there are a number of people that look through the unanswered questions for the purpose of answering them, there are a lot of unanswered questions that exist and new ones being asked on a continual basis. Also the proper placement into the category that is closest to the question can have some effect. If a question is in the wrong category perhaps it is not visited as much as it would be if it were in the right category. And then there is always a chance that a person may ask a question that most users do not have the answer to.
