 * Hi. I’ve noted the same problem. ‘Spam Blocker’ is in place of ‘Tools’ in side
   menu when this plugin is active.

 * Hello again.
    I changed line 8 in options.php to the following: add_menu_page(‘
   Spam Blocker’, ‘Spam Blocker’, ‘manage_options’,’rsb-admin-menu’, ”, ‘ dashicons-
   megaphone’,77 );
 * i.e. 77 instead of 75.
    Spam blocker now appears under Tools in the menu. I don’t
   know if hook 77 is used for anything else, but works for me.
 * Please change this asap. Thanks.
