Meta: The rule 5 bot is doing more harm than good

Every other post here gets a nagging comment about Rule 5, but it's usually not necessary. A post can include an image and body text, but the bot doesn't recognise it unless the text is posted as a comment. I don't see what the point of this is. I assume the motivation is that at one point it wasn't possible for an image post to have body text, but that's not the case anymore, even when viewing the posts on old Reddit.

Can the rule be updated, and the bot fixed, so that it only addresses image posts without any body text? In its current form the bot is frequently deleting image posts that have perfectly good explanatory text in the post body.
