Stop SPAM did not work!

Stop SPAM did not work!  I mean I spent some time thinking that it might but I still received spammers hitting my site.  The layout is great and simple to use which I liked but when something doesn’t work it just is of no use!  I finally went to the top of the line blockers and had to install a database and upgrade my php data base from 7.4 to 8.0.   Yea a lot more work to do but it works great and I mean the top of the line blocker works.  Look at the reviews for the best blocker and try it too.  Lots more work to do but in the end, it works.   However this Stop SPAM needs more work to do as it has nice features but it does not work.
