You can run a service with both safe harbor and other rules that is not about infringements. In fact, DMCA permits you to remove content if you have good reasons to believe so, even without a copyright notice.
Why even discuss safe harbor? Do you qualify for it?

Yes we qualify for safe harbor and we make sure we keep doing so.
And your other remarks are simply not true. The point of DMCA is to protect services that do not interfere with user content because it would break the logic of the site. It is not to protect a site which takes user content and then picks the pieces of it that it likes! Claiming otherwise just means you are understanding dmca differently than major copyright lawfirms in the US. If you think you are right and they are wrong, so be it.
