I had thought I read somewhere that we can set a plugin to allow users to message one another only if they have paid for an upgraded membership. Now I can't find it here, so I am wondering if there is a combination of wpmudev plugin that can make this happen.
Basically I am thinking of using the membership plugin with something like supporter and messaging?
Is there a way to make is a user can not send messages through the messaging system unless they have paid? I'd like it to be free for users to read messages sent to them, and have them have to pay either per message sent through the system, or pay for 24 hours access to send messages maybe.
Not sure if this should be a different set of plugins to achieve this.. any help is appreciated.

Hello djsteve,
You can use our Membership plugin along with Buddypress to achieve that functionality. Buddypress has instant messaging features where users can message each other on site. And Membership has a rule for restricting access to the feature.
You can setup membership so that access to that feature is restricted to paying users. There are numbers of ways to configure it so it would be up to you to decide how you want it to work. :)

Hope that helps!

If you wanted to use messaging and supporter you can mod it a bit to include an is_supporter() check.
