Disable HTML Editor for User Profile Field textarea

Good Morning,

does anyone know how to change the standard html editor against an ordenary textarea for user profile fields in both, registration process and editing the profile?

I managed to do so by changing define.class.php and field.class.php in /user/profile/field/textarea from

$mform->addElement('editor', $this->inputname, format_string($this->field->name), null, null);

to

$form->addElement('textarea', 'defaultdata', get_string('profiledefaultdata', 'admin'), 'wrap="virtual" rows="6" cols="100"');

but then when editing the profile the content from the database is not inserted into the textarea. works fine if I change it back though.

any ideas and experiences?

I don't want an ordenary user or a guest using the texteditor as I need to have plain text without any format in my database.
