Right, then perhaps this won't be that useful. Having said that, I wonder if this could be useful against less sophisticated actors. I don't have access to the DB so I can't answer this question: do we see any correlation between accounts flagged for abuse, and the "repetiveness" of their `users.creation_addr`?

As for the implementation detail, what I was thinking was running something like the following on user creation:

```sql
UPDATE users SET count_users_in_ipaddr = count_users_in_ipaddr + 1 WHERE creation_addr = ?
```
