The solution to this is to not reply to them.

They will either give you the information you need (and potentially learn their lesson for next time), or they’ll get tired of waiting and ask someone else.

    100% this. I got this dude who always messages me “hi” when he needs something but doesn’t bother to include what the fuck he needs. I told him, politely, once you can just include everything up front at once and I’ll answer as soon as I can. I just won’t respond to just “hi”. Like fucking hi yourself.

    When I share that I ignore people who messages with only a "hi", certain people get real upset. I used to try to be considerate like, "Oh I need to change my communication style" but after a while, I realized every person who gets upset by it was a egotistical asshole in the first place who thinks everyone should wait for them.

    So yeah, say what you want to say. I'm not here for you.
