A message that receives at least 5 downvotes will be subject to a majority rule evaluation.

Conversely, if the majority approves, the message will remain visible.

If the option
Allow admins to see the real author of anonymous messages? is enabled, admins can view the authorship of messages sent after enabling this option. However, if admins disable it and someone sends an anonymous message, they won't be able to see the author's identity even if they turn it on back. Note: If admins enable this option, other Slack members will be able to confirm while sending a message (see second screenshot below).
First, create a private channel and invite Anony Botter by typing
/invite @Anony Botter and hitting enter. Then turn on Should all anonymous messages require approval before they're sent out? option. A new dropdown will appear below it, select this newly created channel there and hit save. Now, whenever a message is sent, you'll be notified in this channel for approval. See second screenshot below. Once approved by the admin, the anonymous message is sent and displayed. If declined by the admin, the anonymous message will not be sent and the author won't be notified.
