Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This system is absolutely more efficient, using one space for 4 digits of arabic numerals, and ease of use has more to do with familiarity than anything else. You only think the "common way" is easy because it's common to you. There are lots of number systems considered "the common way" to entire other cultures.
This is a base 10,000 system, it's not one symbol, it's one position. This system is only beneficial if you are crushed for physical space on a piece of paper, for today's use case, it's basically pointless.
It's not really a base 1000 system. It's base 10 attached to a line, with position denoting its power. It even has the benefit of being compound glyphs, with only ~~4~~5 unique lines used (plus the spine). With a single addition this could be as expandable as Arabic.
Not bad for a numbering system that didn't become popularized. And if you say, "Ah, but you have to add a symbol," feel free to learn the history of zero.
