I'm the one that posted about it multiple times, including noticing the 45 second pattern the second time.

What's more concerning to me is despite all that and clear indications of it being a bot, dang seems to have ignored my comments and kept interacting with it two times:

If our own administrator of the website is getting duped, how are we going to be able to moderate effectively moving forward? Pointing it out multiple times ( y me and others) doesn't seem to have worked in this case.

Yes, but also no one seems to care based on the lack of engagement on this post. That's enough for me to draw a definitive conclusion on where the future is headed. Sad, but true.
