The checkbox for personal logistics and auto-trash prevents items from being trashed but does not prevent items in the trash from being picked up.

To me, the logic of the button is "don't let bots interface with my personal inventory" rather than "don't allow deliveries to my inventory, and don't auto-trash items". The first description is generally more desirable to me. I would prefer that when I'm in a remote bot network, that items not get picked up when I've disabled the checkbox. This allows me to get to a desirable network and enable the checkbox to have items picked up and delivered.

What is, when you turn it off and put some items into the trash slots.
Should they be removed by the bots or not? If yes: I catchend you. If no: why should I have the ability to put items into the trash slots by hand?

And I can take the items you won’t to be trashed out of the slots, after you turned the automatic off.

Also the devs don't want the auto-trash system to be abused as an additional inventory storage (I'm not saying you're trying, just that it must be kept in mind).
