Let them search your computer for the username (and password of course) for the person who's posting that stuff. If they don't find anything, it's obviously not you. You have to have an account to post on craigslist, right?

The username isn't pubicly shown, so we don't know what it is.

It totally defeats the purpose.

Not via the web, but via your web browser, yes!

If you have told your browser to remember a password, it should have a record somewhere of your username and password.

Update again. The post frequency has gone down from 20 times a day down to about one every three days. My dad is still convinced it's me, my mom decided to believe me. Now they don't share a bed anymore. Hmm.

Why not just not go online for a week to prove to your dad it wasn't you?

Hard to do, I build websites and can't really afford to dump my customers for a week.

This is bad....

I just hope that stuff like this doesn't happen to me

As a recommendation I would tell the police before someone else tells the police. ie. the person that is don't this to you will frame you if he tells them.

That was kind of hard to explain due to the fact that I haven't drank my coffee yet so... If you need more clarification just say so.
