The one it is really for
Advance-fee scams are the most common thing posted into job groups. Kariaa describes the posting, never the employer, and will not call a named company fraudulent.
A clean result is reported as “nothing tripped my checks”, never as proof that a job is genuine.

Kariaa
This posting shows high-risk scam markers.
- Upfront fee
- Messaging app only
- Urgency pressure
- Pay far above market
Treat it as unsafe: find the company’s own careers page and apply there, never pay to be hired, and never send ID or bank details before a written offer.
What your members can ask
Anything not on this list still works; an unrecognised request is answered as a plain question.
- /kariaa check <paste a posting>
- Scam markers: upfront fees, contact only on a messaging app, ID or bank details before an offer.
- /kariaa jobs <role> <place>
- Current openings, with a link on every listing.
- /kariaa resume <what for>
- Application or CV lines a member can adapt. On Discord's /kariaa resume, only the asker sees it.
- /kariaa interview <role>
- Likely questions, and what each is really testing.
- /kariaa ask <anything>
- Pay, requirements, translations, or any other job question. Follow-ups in the same thread keep the context.
Admins only
- /kariaa settings
- What the bot answers here, and what an admin has switched off.
- /kariaa settings jobs off
- Switch off a whole topic: job listings, scam checks, or general advice.
- /kariaa off
- Silence it until an admin runs /kariaa on.
What a moderator is agreeing to
01
It speaks only when addressed
A message that starts with /kariaa, mentions it, or replies to it. Ordinary conversation gets no reply, no reaction, no direct message, and on Telegram never reaches our servers at all.
02
It knows nothing about your members
No member profiles and nothing to look up about anyone. Anything personal is declined in the channel and moved to a private message, and emails, phone numbers and addresses are stripped from replies before they send.
03
You choose what it answers
/kariaa settings lists what is on and lets an admin switch off a whole topic, so a community that bans job adverts can keep the scam checks and drop the listings. /kariaa off silences it entirely, and removing it works exactly as it does for any member.
Permissions, in full
Discord shows you this list on its authorisation screen. Slack asks for four narrow scopes, Reddit for its standard app permission, and Telegram needs none at all.
What it asks for
- View Channels
- To receive the message that addressed it.
- Send Messages
- To answer, where it was asked.
- Create Public Threads
- Each answer opens a thread off the question, so the channel stays readable.
- Send Messages in Threads
- So an answer stays in the thread.
- Read Message History
- Required by Discord to reply inside a thread.
- Embed Links
- So a job link renders as a preview.
What it will never ask for
- Manage MessagesIt cannot delete anyone's posts.
- Manage ServerIt cannot change any setting.
- Mention EveryoneIt cannot ping your whole server.
- Kick, Ban, TimeoutIt has no moderation powers.
