Maybe this isn't clear.
ACCEPT is a final target: the packet will be accepted and that's that.
LOG_ACCEPT is a userdefined chain, not a target, but you can send
packets matching a rule to such chain for further processing. You should
add rules to this chain that tell Netfilter what to do with a packet; if
the chain is empty, nothing will be done. The packet will not be
accepted, simply because the chain is called 'LOG_ACCEPT'.
