no!
gotta answer'em all
train everyday to make your oblivion goes to zero :)
Oblivion is where words/kanji go if you haven't practiced them for a long time. The higher your ★ rank on a word is the longer it takes for it to go into Oblivion, I believe.
So go to your Oblivion list every day (or if you have high ★ rank on most words, every few days) and try to keep it clear, if you empty it each day you're refreshing your memory on words that you might have missed out in Attendance/Practice.
@Kks74, The Oblivion system used to be simply items you haven't encountered for a long time (30 days). But since the introduction of the spaced repetition ★ system, Oblivion now works a bit differently. Now it is where items with a ★ rank that is ready to be upgraded go.
So, answering Oblivion items correctly increases the ★ stat for that item. Say the item becomes 3★, that question will return to Oblivion list in 8 days (regardless of whether you answer it again before this). You could answer it 7 days later (1 day before it's due to return to Oblivion list), but it will still return to Oblivion list the next day.

↑The official information email about the SRS ★ rank system—which shows the number of days it takes to return to Oblivion for each ★ rank. ^^- Ah, okay. Thanks for the detailed explanation :3
So in conclusion it is good to get rid of the words in oblivion, even if they have a lot of stars.
It used to be if you did a lot of them at once, they would all come back at once a month later so it didn't pay to spend a lot of time on it. System seems to be improving.
