Overview
Like Twitter, the BuddyPress Followers plugin adds the ability to “follow” users on your BuddyPress site.
However, by default, any member on your BuddyPress site is allowed to send private messages to anyone in your userbase.
This plugin allows members to send private messages only if the recipient is following them. This will help prevent private messaging spam on your BuddyPress site.
Recommendations
I do not recommend using the BuddyPress Followers plugin in tandem with the BuddyPress Friends component.
