What's your Leech Threshold? - meolox - 2010-02-07
I'm working through KO2001 and it's the first major project I've used Anki for so I'm still learning new things about it, recently I've enabled the suspend leeches feature with the threshold at 6 fails, the default being 16, seriously 16 surely nobody has it that high?
I'd be interested to hear what everyone has theirs set to and what made them put it at that number

Hmm, I never bothered with that feature (so it's still at 16). I think I might try it, 'cause I've been having trouble remembering more trivial vocabulary like "seseme oil".
But I've had a few RTK Kanji cards go above that before :lol:

I'm not sure what it does. o.O

I'm using the leech option to tell me when to change up the card that's being missed too much.
I set my vocabulary leech threshold to 6. If one of the cards hits that, I add a (ko) to the kana side meaning that I only mark it "hard" if I don't get the kanji correct, though I still need to know the meaning. Rarely will I miss a word by not knowing it's meaning so that hasn't been an issue.
On grammar I might change a leech card with to show all the conjugation though I'll still need to know the concept.
On kanji, I'll add primitive words to the front.
It's not bad actually, and it's just to catch ones that are causing headaches when so many are not. So yeah, one can remove the squeaky wheel but for now I'm just adding grease to it.

I just delete leeches according to anki's basic threshold. I don't really have time to bother over the few cards that end up leeches and honestly, if a card becomes a leech, then it's likely I'm not seeing it often enough in real life anyway for it to matter.
Eventually I'll run across it again, if it's important.
