CSF Enabled But Iptables Empty

/etc/init.d/iptables status

Table: mangle

Table: filter

Table: nat

/sbin/iptables -v -I INPUT -s 1.1.1.1 -j DROP
no "response"

.. this means the iptables are simply empty I guess!

CSF is enabled and working, at least it's sending me mails that it's blocking IP's or if CPU load is too high.

/etc/init.d/iptables status is working but not saving anything

My current iptables:
