 Right now GetTor has a limit for the number of total requests a user can
 make from a single email address. This was likely put in place to prevent
 abuse or resource consumption, but functions as a total limit rather than
 a rate limit.

 This does not seem desirable, the limit right now is pretty low (30
 requests), and is essentially a lifetime limit since we don't clear the
 database when we update links.
