There are a number of ways to tell whether or not someone is good.
The best way is to play with them. However over the years I have become exceptional at gauging the talent of players based off what I read on the forums, as well as a few simple stats.
First k/d. Usually under 2 in reach is pretty low.
Second playlists. People who frequent MLG, arena, or the TU playlist are often better than those who play other gametypes. Similarly those who frequent action sack, griffball, and living dead are almost without a doubt awful.
Third MM history. By looking at one or two games that the person has recently lost in you can tell a lot. If they lose to a guest in anything, they are without a doubt awful. If they lose in arena to a team of less than single digit players, they are generally bad. If they lose to a stacked team by only a few kills, and have traded games with them, they are usually good.
And the easiest way to tell, is how they post on the forums. I can almost instantaneously tell whether or not someone is good based off only 1 or 2 posts from someone.
It looks like your personal definition of a "good player" is someone way way above average to begin with. The only real objective definition of "good" is "above average", but you seem to have much higher standards.
