Thread: what is the use of STORE Inactive Feature?

what is the use of STORE Inactive Feature?

While adding NEW STORES, there is one feature
"Store Active" : YES/NO

What is the real use of it.

Because i have marked few of stores "Inactive". They are out of the list which is fine, but few bugs are there

1) the coupons (which are mapped to that store) are still visible.
2) from these coupons i am still able to go to store page. because at the coupon page, theme has a store link.
3) auto suggest still shows the list of INACTIVE STORES.

Requesting a support; would you mind putting more light/solution on that, sothat system may not show up inactive stores, and its related content.
