I'm not sure why this is happening, but it seems that when I call current_user.valid? it remove any errors that are currently on the user object.

ie.

current_user.errors.add(:custom_field, "invalid")

current_user.errors.count # == 1

current_user.valid?

current_user.errors.count # == 0

I don't want to add a validation to the user object because this validation only occurs in some contexts and the model doesn't have the context it needs.
