The problem is that i was unable to override the default form field validators for the username fie

Answer 1

You can explicitly define a field on the form. That way, you have full control over the field, including its validators:

class RegularUserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    username = forms.CharField(max_length=30)

    class Meta:
        model = User
