iptables log and drop

it's trivial to setup iptables so that log and drop don't require seperate lines for every instance

iptables -A logdrop -j log
iptables -A logdrop -j drop

now everywhere you have a match that you want to both log and drop, just set it to use -j logdrop and it will jump to this short chain that does both.
