 * Hi,
 * You tried to fix this before, but I’m still getting these errors in my error 
   log using the latest version of the plugin (version 2.6.4).
 * [10-Feb-2015 08:28:25 UTC] PHP Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: invalid
   UTF-8 string at offset 7 in …./wp-content/plugins/antispam-bee/antispam_bee.php
   on line 1579
 * Anyone else seeing this?
 * Thanks,
    Rich

 * On that line Antispam Bee removes any non UTF-8 characters from comments.
 * If this error still occurs, please open an issue [on GitHub](https://github.com/pluginkollektiv/antispam-bee).
