5 posts in 5 hours is way too many. People will be much more generous if you space things out or put them on shortform. I’ve never discussed this with anyone else, but if I was going to make up a number it would be no more than two posts per month unless they’re getting fantastic karma, and and avoid having two posts above the fold at the same time.

I agree that such posts—esp. for a newbie—would be more suitable to start as shortforms.
I don’t think the raw number is the problem. If someone writes too many posts in general, they’ll start to get ignored, not heavily downvoted.
There is a risk of being seen as a spammer if there are too many posts of dubious quality.
