Looking forward to your contributions!
I don't want to discourage you in any way, but most users [victim or not] tend to create a new thread for each of the scams, as opposed to having all of them in a single thread [it'll turn into a big mess].
- You might want to add an ability for users to directly submit their reports through your website.

BTW, I randomly checked a few of the listed scams and noticed none of them had an in-depth report on why they're part of the list in question!

Let you know how exactly?
I don't see an easy way on your website to report scams or suspicious projects, so maybe you should create special submission page that users can use to send links with basic information about this websites.
On currently listed scam websites I don't see any explanation why they are scam or any evidence for this claims.

I took a quick look at the link to your platform, and what I found is that most of the memecoin projects and their official websites (not phishing links) have been listed, and the following was mentioned in Cryptolinks:

Usually, you get in this category because you are hiding your team, you have a bad reputation(you are tricking, deceiving, scamming people), and you haven't got a written project whitepaper or is a shitty one....

Meme coins are worthless, and indeed, these projects do not showcase the team behind them or publish a professional whitepaper or even a well-designed website. Perhaps most of these projects are rugpulls and scams, but you, in the current listing criteria on your platform, will put all the memecoins in the category the same way. You should support your claims about scam projects with evidence and references, as suggested by previous members. Also, I think having all platforms and projects in one category is not ideal. It would be better to create categories for each type of scam, such as phishing links, memecoin projects, exchange platforms, Ponzi schemes, etc.

you can participate int he scams accusation threads. the scam accusation forum would need a scam buster like you. because no entity can force those scammers to respond but if you can reveal them through your investigation skills that would be a huge help for the victims. by revealing them i think is already a good justice. making them return the money they took will be a bigger step.

If you need a source of scam data then check out and explore this board.

This is where the Bitcointalk community reports scams. That is your best source of scam data.

I agree, he is already in the right board to summarize all of the proven scams and post it on his website to start with. He's free to do that as long as he'd put the source where he has taken that upon posting it on his website and also give credit to the resource person. Always do it with courtesy but then, he had to start with himself too spotting out scams and give details the red flags about it.
@OP, the website is very simple but I have a suggestion for you OP to change how the list goes. Instead of listing 1 and upwards on a horizontal line, do it vertically on the left like CMC and on the right side of each of the project, give a short summary why it had became a scam, short, plain and simple.

I also suggest making it possible to search by domain name. In some cases, scam websites have a decent brand name but a strange looking domain name. Further, brand names could also overlap or be similiar with others.

Further, there can also be good reasons for hiding your team. For instance, if they're working on a privacy leaning project as there has been a crackdowns on these. Personally don't think it's a clear indication of scam unless there are other signs that points otherwise.

Pretty good effort but I think that you can probably just use this board as a reference for crypto scams, you might even be able to use them as reference to expand the list of links in your website. Such a noble cause and I think that you will be of big help to fight these scammers from growing even more and it's also thanks to you and the others' efforts to combat and bust these scammers and their that there's been a significant change in the amount of people that are becoming a potential victim of these scams.

I think none of the users suggested yet that this is not a scam accusation topic, it looks more to me as a service announcement / discussion topic.
