So, I realized there might be some confusion with how the Mastered Terms get calculated (level 9 or higher). Currently, it must be level nine for all studyable vectors. So, for a kanji character, for example, you'd need 9 on ALL the following: onyomi, kunyomi, stroke count, definition, radical.
This is a bit of a clash with the reality of most of the users on the site, who (as per the site's own recommendations) only study 3 or 4 vectors in any given schedule.
So I am considering a change to mastered being considered level 9 in 3 or more study vectors.
Thoughts?
Now that we're on this topic, I remember I used to have like 400 or 500 mastery 9 kanji way back, but recently I noticed the counter went back to 0. Nowadays I don't study stroke count anymore as it did really slow down everything to a crawl but the thing is, I thought that maybe it was because I stopped coming for some time and somehow the kanji experienced some sort of "degradation" thus explaining the counter resetting (does this degradation happens on the site though?). Then had a quick glance at my stats after reading this thread and decided to test with a kanji and there's this:
which confuses me. So they are or aren't at level 9?
Also taking into account the topic of mastery levels, could I suggest we get a level 10 of sorts? I've been looking around different SRS systems and some can go up to years before the next review (Anki), or they modify accordingly to the rate of how you forget stuff and user settings of the system to keep a certain amount of retention (Supermemo) for items with a great deal of prior studying and certainly the current one in the site makes it a very harsh one, repetitions-wise, for highly studied terms. One should consider that for a certain amount of items, the frequency at which one finds them is considerably high in-between reviews, say with words like 女、人、今 which most likely will appear in anything you do, be it reading a newspaper, watching a movie, a book or even in daily conversation.
An extra interval would be more of a maintenance level rather than a learning or reviewing one (which I think could also be said for the current levels 9 and even 8 and 7) while keeping the reviews effortful and not trivial and eliminating excess of reviews for those that already have studied a considerable amount of items. Poking around different users' stats with 25% and up of my own studied terms that have an incredibly high accuracy and pretty long study streaks still do an astounding amount of reviews per week even when not adding new terms for a while, which according to the number of terms they have studied and how their "mastery/days per review/when they studied it" relationship probably behaves they most likely peaked or are close to in terms of minimal amount of reviews per day goes which doesn't look appealing at all. And it would make the "Mastered terms (level 9 or higher)" sentence make sense with a higher level, heh.
TOO LONG, DIDN'T READ;
-Used to have mastery 9 kanji, now they aren't counted but they're still level 9 on everything, why is that?
-An extra 10th mastery level would be nice to reduce reviews long-term without the hassle of manually eliminating terms one deems known enough to not review anymore.
And back to your original question which I somehow deviated from. Yes, I think it wouldn't be bad at all to consider it mastered with less vectors as different people consider mastery differently. I value writing and all but some people don't really care much about writing and won't take Kanken tests so stroke count would certainly be useless for them to review, yet are still able to use it with a good amount of flexibility.
Looks like the mastered numbers disappeared a week ago, not sure why. Just restored them.
I'll think about the mastery levels, but am not planning any major changes at the moment.
I study all 9 vectors when available; but I think 4 vectors at level 9 would be a good option for determining mastery
