  In the game setup settings lobby, they are asking for the ability to disable trading entirely.

  Is this during the game or while creating the game?

  I think this would help in player vs bot game where bot keep requesting things, over and over again.

  Lets be honest: bots are a really nice functionality to have and based on good algorithms but they are very very bad in trading. One should have the option to (for example in some advanced settings options when creating a game) disable trades with them.

  Situation: It is very frustrating when someone is winning just because the bot (read person who left mostly in the middle of the game) accepts his trading propositions all the time, even some propositions that mostly no one would accept.
  Solution: To prevent this kind of situation there could be added the feature during the room creation where you can e.g. check the box if you don't want the trades with bots.

  Bot trades typically ruin the game because bots are usually willing to trade all of the time, which makes the game less fun. Having an option of disabling bot trades will make the game better.

  It would be great to have the option to set no bot trading at set up for all games. This would prevent disputes during the game when players disconnect. In cases where players have agreed to not trade with bots, this option would save time and avoid misclicks.

  Many times players prefer to not trade with bots, if an online player gets disconnected and is replaced by a computer. Suggestions are made in the chat box but they can be missed and can throw off gameplay. Accidentally trading with bots when an agreement is made can cause tension. Same goes for people who decide against the no bot trade rule. My suggestion is this:
  
  Offer a "No Bot Trade" check box in the Game Mode setup screen to make the rules clear for players. If the NBT box is selected t

  I would like a "no bot trades" option during game set-up, but with more controls than just all-or-none. I want the option to disable all bot trades, or just the ones with other bots, or just the ones with humans. I would also like a point limit, like if a human has 3+ points (or whatever threshold is chosen at setup), they can't trade with bots anymore. Once a bot is disabled or disqualified by the set conditions, they shouldn't waste game time by proposing trades.

  Me and many I played with want to disallow to trade with bots in our games. As bot trades are stupid. If somebody leaves the game and a bot spawns, we want nobody to trade with bots but bots.

  I do not want to disable trades per se, just trades between bots and human players, as a config in setting up the game

  An option during set up, in which any player that leaves and turns into a bot, will be embargoed by the rest of the players automatically and in a mandatory fashion.
  
  In other words, mandatorily restricting trades with unplanned bots instead of agreeing and trusting other players to do so.

  Allow “no trades” as a game option
  
  The players instead have to use the ports and 4:1 with bank.
  
  No more 5-6 offers per turn and waiting for all trade responses until the end of the timer. Zzz boring !

  This feature is needed so much. Players trading with bots imbalances the game. Please make an option to disable players being able to trade with bots

  Any game is frustrating when a player leaves, a bot takes their place, and the bot makes unfair or aimless trades that a human would likely not offer or accept. In many chats of the games in which a player leaves, the remaining players attempt to establish an honor system to not trade with the bot, but the agreement is easily forgotten or accidentally violated, because a simple embargo does not suffice in eliminating bot trading completely. It creates an unfair advantage for those who take advantage of the bot's ignorance.
  
  To solve this problem, a pre-game option to "turn off bot trading" should be available alongside the options to select private game, hide bank cards, and friendly robber. This would give the game maker the ability to prevent any potential bot from participating in any trades.

  Note: This would be a PRE-GAME option, making it apply to either all or no players.

  Please make it happen that you can choose in the game options whether players are able to trade with bots or not.
  - yes: trades with bots are allowed
  - no: only trades between bots are allowed

  could also change bot trading to check to see if the trade allows them to build something new or gain more resources than they give. Also since you can see what they want via their trades there's no reason to trade right then you can wait till your turn so maybe weight the cost to be more if its not the bots turn. Also give them the ability to calculate if they are trading with someone who could win this turn. I'm not familiar with the languages you use on the site but it could go something like counting up to max dev points you can have, counting resource cards so if you have the exact right resources you could win by building some roads or other means also if army is 1 knight away from being taken by that player the first hidden dev card is 2 points and does not count towards potential vp cards. dont check for them winning by getting dev cards. you could also just have everything as a number since its checking the worst possible scenario so no need to track specific resources.

  This is the point I am always frustrated when bot trades decide the game, because bots are stupid and trade not considerable. The game is given away to one person at random. It is already a loss when somebody rage quits, but when the players then trade with the bot I get very angry. There should be an option to disable bot trades. I would always enable that option for my games.

  Agreed! Bots often make poor trades. I think it'd be nice to have a trade toggle in the setup. 1. Full trades. 2. Trades with players only (no bot trades). 3. No trading.
