Given that badges are being handed out, it is clear the survey is

When the survey is complete, you get a non-personalized link which will let
you get the badge. It might be theoretically possible to correlate this by
IP address from logs, but I don't think any one actually has access to both
the LimeSurvey web logs and ours.
Also by time.
If you are concerned about privacy, save the link and use it to claim
the badge later (after some randomized/secret amount of time).
My issue was more with the claim about being anonymous, rather than how
to try to advise people on how to try to respond while making it hard
to be identified. I doubt that many people here care whether their
replies are anonymous or not for this survey.
I think people doing surveys throw that text in by rote because they think
it helps response rate. When I see survey requests using that text my
first thought is that the person requesting the participation is either
incompetent or intentionally lying and I probably shouldn't respond to the
request.
I think people requesting surveys should either make no privacy related
comment or one that indicates what their practice will be. Instead of
saying the responses are anonymous, they might say they are confidential
or that they will be published without identity being explicitly included
or whatever the practice is.
While many people on this list will understand that surveys are not
really anonymous unless the responses are simple and special care is
taken in how you interact with the survey, that isn't true in general.
And I think survey requesters should be held to a higher bar in properly
informing people about the privacy aspects of their surveys.
