Right
The tricky part, which I'm less sure of, is whether I can control users' rights regarding their own profiles? I only want paying members to have profiles, so that they are essentially paying for their listings as advertisements of themselves. All other site access will be essentially the same. Can this be controlled with CBSubs?
CBSubs GPL has a tabsfieldsprotection integration plugin that you can use to control which fields/tabs are available to users based on their subscriptions.
In the features list it mentions ACL control, which I imagine relates only to the rest of the site content, but it does also mention control over profile display...
[OR... If I can't prevent all members from having profiles entirely, can I at least limit what fields they include (e.g. username, location, profession)?]
See previous response - CBSubs tabsfieldsprotection plugin should do the trick.
